Paperback. Condizione: New. 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 kind-hearted uncle is wholly dominated by a pretentious and despotic pseudo-intellectual named Opiskin, a charlatan who has ingratiated himself with Yegor's mother and now holds the entire household under his thumb. Watching the absurd theatrics of this domestic tyrant over forty-eight 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 life's wild absurdities that rivals even Gogol's. It also offers a fascinating insight into the genesis of the characters and situations of many of Dostoyevsky's great later novels, including The Idiot, Devils and The Brothers Karamazov.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. At the country estate of Stepanchikovo, the household has fallen 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, soft-hearted giant of a man, is cruelly dominated by his parasitic houseguest - and now Opiskin has plans to marry his host off to an elderly widow. 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 Opiskin's bullying and sacrifice the love of his life? Or will his sense of honour finally push him to resist the tyrant's demands?Full of pace, effervescence and absurd characters, this short comic novel represents a rare instance of Dostoyevsky's antic side. Written in the year of his return from exile, it marks the beginning of his artistic maturity. Chekhovian in its bittersweet evocation of a household at war with itself, Dickensian in its comic proliferation of characters, this novel is Dostoyevsky's portrait of a Russia on the verge of upheaval and transformation.
