Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Novel A few words as to the author himself might be of interest. The Vicomte E. Melchior de Vogue was bom at Nice on February 24, 1848. His mother was English - a Miss H. Anderson of renowned beauty. His ancestors, who took their part in the Crusades, were "seigneurs" in the Province of Vivarais (now the Departement of the Ardeche). De Vogue went through the War of 1870-71, was wounded at Sedan, and spent eight months as a prisoner in Magdeburg. On returning to France, he was decorated with the "Medaille Militaire" and was appointed attache to the French Embassy at Constantinople, where his cousin le Marquis de Vogue was Ambassador, and spent three years there and travelling about in the East. His first publication (1876) was entitled Syria, Palestine and Mount Athos. Appointed Secretary in 1877 to the Embassy at St. Petersburg, and there marrying the sister of General Annenkoff, of Transcaspian renown, he naturally took a great interest in Russia, studying its language and its people, in town and country, for five years. Leaving the diplomatic service at the time Marechal de MacMahon left the Elysees, he and his young Russian wife settled down in Paris. He then definitely took to literature. In 1886 he finished writing the present volume. The Russian Novel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russian Literature Since the Crimean'war, in 1855, the power of Russia, although it suffered in that contest, has been much more noticed by other nations than it had been before; and since the abolition of serfdom in her dominion, in 1861, her government has become a study for other statesmen besides her own: but no nation yet has given her literature more than a pass ing notice. The reason may be plain. 'her great military power is felt by the world, and her policy, in reference to the law of nations, has its inﬂuence, but her literature, which will ultimately represent the best results of all. Her powers, is not yet established. Perhaps her banner may yet wave, her policy rule, and her language be heard, from the chilling snows of Siberia to the burning rays of Good hopel - for she is rapidly availing herself of the science, art, and skill of other nations - if so, then her literature will be known to the world; for the school and college, in the range of time, are more powerful than the cabinet and the field.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline of Russian Literature But in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the existence of this growing barrier was not yet perceptible. The eleventh and twelfth centuries in Russia were an age of Sagas and Byliny, already clearly stamped with the democratic character and ideal that is at the root of all Russian literature, and which offer so sharp a contrast to Greek and Western ideals. In the Russian Sagas, the most popular hero is the peasant's son, who is despised and rejected, but at the critical moment displays superhuman strength and saves his country from the enemy; and in return for his services is allowed to drink his fill for three years in a tavern.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing together episodes of rich atmosphere, this novel is as deep and brooding as the Paris nights that serve as its backdrop. Russian writer Gaito Gazdanov arrived in Paris, as so many did, between the wars and would go on, with this fourth novel, to give readers a crisp rendering of a living city changing beneath its people’s feet. Night Roads is loosely based on the author’s experiences as a cab driver in those disorienting, often brutal years, and the narrator moves from episode to episode, holding court with many but sharing his mind with only a few. His companions are drawn straight out of the Parisian past: the legendary courtesan Jeanne Raldi, now in her later days, and an alcoholic philosopher who goes by the name of Plato. Along the way, the driver picks up other characters, such as the dull thinker who takes on the question of the meaning of life only to be driven insane. The dark humor of that young man’s failure against the narrator’s authentic, personal explorations of the same subject is captured in this first English translation. With his trademark émigré eye, Gazdanov pairs humor with cruelty, sharpening the bite of both.

Book excerpt: Many Russian novels of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have made a huge impact, not only inside the boundaries of their own country but across the western world. The Cambridge Companion to the Classic Russian Novel offers a thematic account of these novels, in fourteen newly-commissioned essays by prominent European and North American scholars. There are chapters on the city, the countryside, politics, satire, religion, psychology, philosophy; the romantic, realist and modernist traditions; and technique, gender and theory. In this context the work of Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Bulgakov, Nabokov, Pasternak and Solzhenitsyn, among others, is described and discussed. There is a chronology and guide to further reading; all quotations are in English. This volume will be invaluable not only for students and scholars but for anyone interested in the Russian novel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Russian Literature To the difficulties inseparably attached to all literary criticism must, in the present case, be added the circumstance that the writers here reviewed belong to a nation whose history and civilization differ in many essential points from the history and civilization of Western Europe. I dare not ﬂatter myself that in all cases I have succeeded in under standing aright the form and stir of mind which have given to the Russian people a literature of their own. I can only trust that an honest desire to comprehend and appreciate the character and aims of a people among whom I have lived for many years, and a warm sympathy with the progress they have made and - despite recent ominous events - are still making, may have proved sufiicient safeguards against glaring errors, and that justice has been done in these pages to the more illustrious writers and thinkers of modern Russia.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russian Anthology in English The purpose of this anthology is to offer to English and American readers in an adequate translation examples of the best in Russian literature. In compiling it, I have endeavoured to steer a course between several diverging currents. One method I have rejected is to set out a multitude of extracts in chronological order in the hope of illustrating by them the progress of Russian literature from its birth to its lusty prime. Such a compilation, however, is of real interest to no one but historians. Another plan was to devote separate sections to Russian prose, Russian verse and Russian drama.

The book will uses the figure of Pushkin, 'the Russian Shakespeare' as a recurring example as his work influenced every Russian writer who came after hime, whether poets or novelists. It will look at such questions as why Russian writers are venerated, how they've been interpreted inside Russia and beyond, and the influences of such things as the folk tale tradition, orthodox religion, and the West ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.
