Sanin: A Novel,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Introduction By Otto Boeleafterword By Nicholas Luker'It Evoked Almost Unprecedented Discussions, Like Those At The Time Of Turgenev'S Fathers And Sons. Some Praised The Novel Far More Than It Deserved, Others Complained Bitterly That It Was A Defamation Of Youth. I May, However, Without Exaggeration Assert That No One In Russia Took The Trouble To Fathom The Ideas Of The Novel. The Eulogies And Condemnations Are Equally Onesided.'Thus Did Mikhail Artsybashev (18781927), Whose Novels And Short Stories Are Suffused With Themes Of Sex, Suicide, And Murder, Describe The Reaction To Publication In 1907 Of Sanin, His Second Novel. The Work Provoked Heated Debates Among The Russian Reading Public, And The Journal In Which It Was Published Serially Was Soon Closed Down By The Authorities.The Hero Of Artsybashev'S Novel Exhibits A Set Of New Values To Be Contrasted With The Morality Of The Older Russian Intelligentsia. Sanin Is An Attractive, Clever, Powerful, Lifeloving Man Who Is, At The Same Time, An Amoral And Carnal Animal, Bored Both By Politics And By Religion. During The Novel He Lusts After His Own Sister, But Defends Her When She Is Betrayed By An Arrogant Officer; He Deflowers An Innocentbutwilling Virgin; And Encourages A Jewish Friend To End His Selfdoubts By Committing Suicide. Sanin'S Extreme Individualism Greatly Appealed To Young People In Russia During The Twilight Years Of The Romanov Regime. 'Saninism' Was Marked By Sensualism, Selfgratification, And Selfdestructionand Gained In Credibility In An Atmosphere Of Moral And Spiritual Despondency.Artybashev Drew Upon A Wide Range Of Sources For His Inspirationsanin Owes Debts To Dostoevsky'S Notes From Underground, Nietzsche'S Notion Of The 'Superman,' And The Work Of The Individualist Anarchist Philosopher Johann Kaspar Schmidt. Michael R. Katz'S Translation Of This Controversial Novel Is The First Into English In Almost Seventy Years.'Russian Pornography Is Not Plain Pornography Such As The French And Germans Produce, But Pornography With Ideas.'Kornei Chukovsky'Those Who Saw In The Much Discussed Novel Only Suggestive Scenes, Shocking Their Morality Or Titillating Their Senses, Were Mistaken; It Was, As Usual In Russia, A Book With A Message, And Sanin Slept With All His Mistresses To Prove A Thesis Rather Than To Obey A Natural Urge.'Marc Slonim
