Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Summoned to the country estate of his wealthy uncle Colonel Yegor Rostanev, the young student Sergey Aleksandrovich finds himself thrown into a startling bedlam. For as he soon sees, his meek and kindhearted uncle is wholly dominated by a pretentious and despotic pseudointellectual named Opiskin, a charlatan who has ingratiated himself with Yegors mother and now holds the entire household under his thumb. Watching the absurd theatrics of this domestic tyrant over fortyeight explosive hours, Sergey grows increasingly furious until at last, he feels compelled to act. A compelling comic exploration of petty tyranny, The Village of Stepanchikovo reveals a delight in lifes wild absurdities that rivals even Gogols. It also offers a fascinating insight into the genesis of the characters and situations of many of Dostoyevskys great later novels, including The Idiot, Devils and The Brothers Karamazov.
