Description

Petersburg, a masterpiece of modernist literature, is widely regarded as one of the most important Russian novels of the 20th century. Set against the backdrop of Russia's capital during the tumultuous period of the first socialist revolution in 1905, this novel explores themes of history, identity, and family.

Through its unique blend of news, fashion, psychology, and ordinary people, Petersburg creates a distinctive and thought-provoking literary experience. The story follows a young protagonist as he navigates the misty streets of Petersburg, tasked with a mission that has far-reaching consequences for himself and those around him.

Published by Penguin Classics, this edition brings together a wealth of knowledge and expertise, with introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors. With its authoritative text and up-to-date translation, Petersburg is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of Russian literature and the human experience.
