Feb 08, Jim Fonseca added it Shelves: russian-authorsdid-not-finishhistorical-novel. See the punch-line at the end of my review. Fortunately, just in the nick of time, the famous Turkish detective, Erast Fandorin, who happens to be in the tavern, comes to her rescue. Our heroine is a remarkably liberated Russian woman for her time. The novel is set in during the war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire. Having read that there are women doctors in the United States, she starts to train The Turkish Gambit one by helping a midwife but finds that she faints at the sight of blood. She finds that boring with no possibility of advancement, The Turkish Gambit instead, becomes a stenographer. Then she returns to her village in Russia to be a teacher. The only other teacher in her school is a young male. Their relationship is chaste, so they live in a two-bedroom apartment, but, of course, have to tell the landlord they are married. Meanwhile he enlists as an officer in the war and she follows him to the front, hoping to get a job as a stenographer again while she makes up her mind about his ultimatum. The detective has remarkable gambling skills so he goes to the tavern dice table and wins a pony so she can travel with him. The Turkish Gambit the very first day they are attacked by bandits and her disguise is revealed but - just in the nick of time - a squadron of Russian Cossacks appear to rescue her from villainy. So I'm not kidding when I say it is fast-paced and action-packed. If you do like this type of book, you are in luck, because there are about a dozen in the series and almost all of them have been translated from Russian into English. View all 5 comments.

Sep 11, Charles rated it it was ok. I started this series a long time ago. I really enjoyed the The Winter Queen. Somehow, I managed to skip this second book and read all the other translated stories. Writing is good. Oddly, the POV did not The Turkish Gambit that of the protagonist Erast Fandorinwhich gave the b I started this series a long time ago. I thought dialog was better than description. More importantly, because this is a Russian series in translation, the translation by Andrew Bromfield was good. This book could be considered YA in tone. There was no sex, The Turkish Gambit substance abuse, or musical references in the story. Oddly, I would have expected there to be "camp followers" mentioned. There were none. There was a moderate amount of alcohol consumption leading to drunkenness. There was also gambling. There was a modest amount of violence. Violence was edged-weapon and firearms related. It was not overly graphic. Frankly, I think the author missed an opportunity to describe the carnage and brutality The Turkish Gambit warfare in this period. Characters were good and were solidly within trope. The nominal protagonist is Fandorin. The real hero was Varya Suvorova, a modern woman. Otherwise, she functions somewhat like Watson to Fandorin's Sherlock. The remaining characters include a gaggle of Victorian journalists, Russian civil servants and Russian officers of the nobility. A familiarity with H. Rider Haggard novels and Alfred Lord Tennyson would hold you in good stead in appreciating them. The author takes several jabs at the defunct Imperial and Soviet systems with his characters. The antagonist was almost peripheral to the story and was unconvincing to me. Characters other than those mentioned above were mere NPCs. Plot was a straightforward Sweet Polly Oliver with Suvorov. Suvorova then watches and aids Fandorin catch a Turkish spy in HQ. I thought the real antagonist was too deeply buried beneath red herrings for this to be a fair fight. A long exposition was included with the big The Turkish Gambit at the end of the story to ensure the reader did not leave confused, although, this is very much in character with Victorian-flavored mysteries. This was a solid story for a Victorian historical fiction spy thriller. The Russian perspective was refreshing from the typical British one. I was more interested in the atmosphere of the Russian HQ in this Balkans war setting. In The Turkish Gambit, this book was readable, but not recommended. The Turkish Gambit (film) - Wikiwand Build up your Halloween Watchlist with our list of the most popular horror titles on Netflix in October. See the list. The film is based on the second book from the Adventures of Erast Petrovich Fandorin series of novels written by the Russian author Boris Akunin. The film takes place in during the Russian-Turkish war. Erast Fandorin has just escaped from Turkish prison and is trying to get on the Russian side as soon as possible to give important information about the upcoming attack of the enemy. Erast also knows that there is a spy somewhere in the Russian army, everyone is under suspicion Written by Pavel P. Yes, it is true that most of the people think that this movie contains too many visual effects, but this is not completely true. It seems so, because most of the watcher actually do not expect that The Turkish Gambit a Russian movie. But let me The Turkish Gambit where did they get the effects from. Most of the strange and a little bit animation scenes are taken from the Panorama of the Pleven Epopee - this is a monument of the Pleven Siege, which is the overturn in the Russo-Turks War And about the monument - in there are the battle scenes and everything is made from wax and seems pretty much real. Because about 10 soldiers and citizens of Pleven have died in a small valley - about 2 square km surface. So, The Turkish Gambit see this movie as a modern admission of what had The Turkish Gambit done before - and of course paying salute to the tremendous people, who have been fighting for ideas.

  • The Translator-Detective in Post-Soviet Fiction
    Translating the transition: the translator-detective in Post-Soviet fiction Brian James Baer Kent State University This article explores the ways in which the figure of the translator-detective in contemporary Russian literature functions to express and neutralize a range of fears and anxieties engendered by the post-Soviet transition. Tracing the roots of the motif of the translator in Russian literature back to F. M. Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, the paper then examines the translator-hero in the detective fiction of the best-selling contemporary authors Aleksandra Marinina, Boris Akunin, Dar’ia Dontsova, and Polina Dashkova. Representatives of the embattled Russian intelligentsia, their translator-detectives embody resistance to mindless cultural borrowing from the West. 1. A borrowed genre One of the most striking features of the post-Soviet literary scene is the run- away success of detective fiction, as well as that of romance novels and action thrillers, testifying in the words of Nancy Condee and Vladimir Padunov (1995: 141) to the “wholesale social displacement of the cult of high culture”. Anthony Olcott and Catherine Theimer Nepomnyashchy have argued that this striking re-orientation of the literary field is due in part to the fact that detective fiction serves a deep psychological need amidst the political, economic, and social turbulence of post-Soviet society, allowing Russians to “simultaneously express and neutralize” their fears and anxieties over soaring crime rates and the attendant transformation of comrades into

  • Transmesis in Slavic Literary Postmodernism
    Transmesis in Slavic Literary Postmodernism: Understanding Translation through Fiction by Roman Ivashkiv A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies University of Alberta ©Roman Ivashkiv, 2015 ii Abstract This dissertation examines the phenomenon of transmesis — the mimesis or portrayal of translation in fiction — in three postmodernist novels in Ukrainian and Russian and their English translations: Yuri Andrukhovych’s Perverziia (translated by Michael Naydan), Serhiy Zhadan’s Depesh Mod (translated by Myroslav Shkandrij), and Viktor Pelevin’s Generation “П” (translated by Andrew Bromfield). My objective is to explore the use and identify the purposes of transmesis in fiction, to investigate issues of untranslatability to which it gives rise, and to identify the implications of transmesis for translation theory and practice. Transmesis, a term coined by Thomas Beebee, stands for the representation in fiction of translation, both as a process and a product, as well as for the portrayal of the figure of the translator in a fictional text. In a larger historico-theoretical framework, the concept of transmesis stands at the juncture of the so-called cultural and fictional turns in translation studies. While the former has been pivotal in expanding our understanding of translation as a cultural rather than merely a linguistic act, the latter has unraveled the potential of fictional portrayals of translation,

  • A Hero of Two Times: Erast Fandorin and the Refurbishment of Genre
    A Hero of Two Times: Erast Fandorin and the Refurbishment of Genre Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Robert Alan Mulcahy, M.A. Graduate Program in Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Helena Goscilo, Advisor John Davidson Yana Hashamova Jessie Labov Copyright by Robert Alan Mulcahy 2013 Abstract This study investigates the popular Adventures of Erast Fandorin series of Boris Akunin, Russia’s best-selling author of detective fiction. With the aid of Mikhail Bakhtin’s concepts of the chronotope and the zone of maximal contact, it addresses questions of genre (in a transnational context), serialization, and the role of zlobodnevnye voprosy (‘current issues’) in historical fiction. My analysis locates Akunin in the history of international detective fiction in order to appraise his contribution not only to the genre but also to modern Russian literature. To account for Akunin’s influential status in his home country, I hypothesize the reasons for the extraordinary success of his works and the cult around the protagonist of the series, as well as the significance of Fandorin’s values for contemporary Russian society. ii Acknowledgements During the entire course of this project I have been tremendously fortunate to have had the intellectual guidance and moral support of my advisor, Dr. Helena Goscilo, whose enormous patience and enduring trust in me helped to ensure that this thesis was eventually written. I would like to profoundly thank Dr. Goscilo for the time and effort she has invested and for the results of our collaboration.

  • Multilingual Communication Space in English Translations of Boris Akunin’S Texts
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 1 (2018 11) 90-97 ~ ~ ~ УДК 81’42:81’25:82.03 Multilingual Communication Space in English Translations of Boris Akunin’s Texts Viktoriya N. Karpukhina* Altai State University 61 Lenina, Barnaul, 656049, Russia Received 10.01.2017, received in revised form 18.12.2017, accepted 09.01.2018 The article considers changes of communication space in the era of globalization. These changes are analyzed in the postmodern fiction text translation. Multilingual communication space in the Boris Akunin’s novel of “Azazel’” translated into English by Andrew Bromfield differs from the type of the communication space in the source text. It deals with the main axiological linguistic macrostrategy used by the translator that is the adaptation macrostrategy. Adaptation macrostrategy shows the diversity of the semantic category of space, textual and cultural alike, in cross-cultural communication. Bipolarity of this macrostrategy (adaptation / foreigning) is caused by translator’s necessity either to acculturate a source text into the culture of a target text, or, vice versa, to make an effect of estrangement of a target text. As a result of this macrostrategy usage, some functions of multilingual communication space of the source text are lost in translation, and the English language loses its role of ‘lingua franca’ in the global communication space. Keywords: communication space, English, Russian, communication fragment, fiction text, translation. DOI: 10.17516/1997-1370-0208. Research area: philology. Introduction communication space to be different from International culture globalization results in that type of semiosphere Yury M. Lotman forming of a new type of communication space.
