This introduction to Russian literature provides a comprehensive overview of the country's rich literary tradition. Caryl Emerson explores recurring themes and fascinations across several centuries, weaving together traditional narratives, literary history chronologically and thematically.
Emerson delves into the works of canonical writers such as Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Bulgakov, and Solzhenitsyn, alongside some current bestsellers from the post-Communist period. The book includes a glossary and pronunciation guide of key Russian terms, making it fully accessible to students and readers with no knowledge of the language.
