Poetry

Pushkin's four miniature verse dramas, of which "Mozart and Salieri" is one, contain what is often thought of as being the finest blank verse in Russian literature. With each focusing on a single extreme psychological moment, the dramas are central to the Russian dramatic repertoire.

Fet is the finest nineteenth century Russian lyric poet following Pushkin. Many of his poems are addressed to his dead fiancee. Such is the strength of feeling in them that death is overcome, and what the Soviet poet Vinokurov has called their 'ringing, tragic dominant' is richly combined with other strains: joy, harmony, delight in the freshness and fullness of the natural world.

Fet, Afanasy

Dostoyevsky's fifth medium-lenght fictional work, 'The Village of Stepanchikovo and its Inhabitants,' was published in 1859, the year of his return to St. Petersburg from exile. It represents a side of its author insufficiently known to English-speaking readers- his humour. It is a superb comic tale. At the same time, it tries out certain themes of Dostoyevsky's full maturity. Set on a remote country estate, the story concerns a household completely under the sway of the despotic charlatan and humbug Foma Fomich Opiskin, whose sententious utterance contains a good deal of satire on the reactionary Gogol. The owner of the estate, the retired Colonel Rostanev, is a meek, kind-hearted giant of a man, cruelly dominated by Opiskin. With deftly controlled suspense, the novel builds up to a confrontation between these two.

Garshin (1855-88) was the outstanding new writer in Russia between Dostoyevsky and Chekhov. This provides the most substantial selection of his stories ever available in English. Garshin gives voice to the unease of an era that knew the horrors of modern war, and the squalors of rapid industrialization. ""As this ably translated collection proves, Garshin was a powerful, innovative writer of unusually broad stylistic range. He wrote lyrical children's fables as well as brutally realistic war stories. And while Garshin borrowed from his more famous predecessors...he did so with original results...Garshin also showed a surprisingly modern insight into human psychology.""--NY Times.

The most perfectly 'Russian' writer of the nineteenth century, Leskov conveys a unique, memorable image of the Russia he knew: wayward and undisciplined, anarchic and perverse, yet underpinned by a profound spirituality and sense of national identity. This captures Leskov's rumbustious humour, together with his hilarious examination of Russian attitudes. It highlights the fascinating contrasts he detected between the spirit of Russia and the culture of her West European neighbors.

Leskov, Kolmi

Provides a kind of handbook to this [German Romantic] movement...All the varieties are here: magical, musical, political and aesthetic...[An] excellent translation."" - TLS. ""These tales are hard to find in translation and this is a thoughtful grouping...one of the great strengths of these tales is their lack of inhibition: they risk gesture, idealism, passion and freely subvert the demands of naturalism. The power of the mind is compellingly dramatized."" - Literary Review. ""Will be of interest to students of Romanticism and philosophy in any language. General readers may also appreciate the fiction-writing skill of these 3 authors."" - Academic Library Book Review. ""Ably translated."" - Small Press. ""A nice compilation of representative German Romantic short fiction. It is eminently suitable for general readers and for undergraduate classroom use."" - Choice.
