A Blustering Interloper And A Meek Aristocrat Struggle For Control Of A Country Estate, In This Comic Novel By The Author Of Crime And Punishment.AvseyS Excellent Translation And Stimulating Introduction And Notes Enable The Reader To Appreciate This Novel, And Its Weird Humour, To The Full. Telegraphfull Of Pace, Effervescence And Grotesque Comedy, This Short Novel By The Renowned Author Of Crime And Punishment Represents An Antic Mode Insufficiently Known To English Readers, And Presented Here In The First Translation Since Constance GarnettS Version Of The 1920S.Set On A Remote Country Estate, The Story Concerns A Household Completely Under The Sway Of The Despotic Charlatan And Humbug Foma Fomich Opiskin, One Of The Most Notorious Creations In Russian Literature. The Owner Of The Estate, Colonel Rostanev, A Meek, SoftHearted Giant Of A Man, Is Cruelly Dominated By Opiskin. With Deftly Controlled Suspense Amid A Teeming Variety Of Wildly Eccentric Minor Characters, The Novel Builds Up To A Confrontation Between These Two. Will Rostanev Give Way To OpiskinS Cruelty And Sacrifice The Love Of His Life? Or Will His Sense Of Honor Finally Push Him To Resist The TyrantS Demands?Written In The Year Of Fyodor DostoyevskyS Return To St Petersburg After His Exile, It Is Perhaps His Most Important Early Work. It Is The Link Between Gogol And Chekhov; It Is Almost Dickensian In Its Comic Proliferation Of Imaginative Characters. In The Chaos Which Spreads Out From The Roiling Center Of The Dominant Opiskin, Dostoevsky Draws A Picture Of A Russia On The Verge Of Upheaval And Transformation.
