Lady Death is very alluring to all that cross her path, her monika giving a tell to what happens to all that do. A very worthy addition to the Erast Fandorin series which gets better with every read, onwards I go 4. Well, that was tremendous fun! Dickensian villains, fascinating historical detail, an exciting plot and a wonderfully tongue-in-cheek but slightly macabre sense of humour made this an absolute delight to read. Just what the doctor ordered! View 2 comments. This and 'He Lover of Death' are two intertwined novels, as can be guessed from the names. While the two mysteries are separate, they happen at roughly the same time. When Fandorin disappears from one book for a few days, he's busy on the other case - while the other cast continue of their separate paths.

  • Boris Akunin and the Rise of the Russian Detective Genre
    Olga Sobolev Boris Akunin and the Rise of the Russian Detective Genre There are very few people in Russia who have not read at least one of Boris Akunin’s nine Adventures of Erast Fandorin, do not have a cou- ple of them lying on a coffee table or who are unable to discuss ‘Erast’ at social events. Akunin’s detective novels have thousands of admirers all over Russia, and recently Fandorin has reached an even wider audi- ence, with ORT1 producing a television version of the first book in the series, Azazel′ (first published in 1988).2 Not surprisingly, then, critics refer to ‘Erastomania’.3 However, popularity and critical recognition are often mutually exclusive, and the opinion of Russian scholars is far from being unanimous. On the one hand, the virtues of Akunin’s work were acknowledged when his Coronation (published in 1999) won the 2000 Anti-Booker Prize; on the other, this award gave rise to numerous ob- jections, which can be briefly summarized in the question: why should a literary prize be awarded to a bestseller?4 Putting aside the tricky concept of ‘worthy’ literature, which causes much of the controversy surrounding Russian literary prizes,5 one might focus on the notion that awards such as the Anti-Booker (and, arguably, the Booker) attempt to identify the predominant and typical trends in contemporary literary life. Prizes are, therefore, often awarded to works embodying, or providing paradigms, of these trends, and it is against the background of such a generic notion that Akunin’s work can best be discussed.

Russia Eternal: Recalling The Imperial Era In Late- And Post-Soviet Literature And Culture Abstract The return of Tsarist buildings, narratives and symbols has been a prominent facet of social life in post- Soviet Russia. My dissertation aims to explain this phenomenon and its meaning by tracking contemporary Russia’s cultural memory of the Imperial era. By close-reading both popular and influential cultural texts, as well as analyzing their conditions of production and reception, I show how three generations of Russian cultural elites from the 1950s until today have used Russia’s past to fight present- day political battles, and outline how the cultural memory of the Imperial epoch continues to inform post- Soviet Russian leaders and their mainstream detractors. Chapters One and Two situate the origin of Russian culture’s current engagement with the pre-Revolutionary era in the social dynamic following Stalin’s death in 1953.

    “where a good crime C r i m e can be had by all” c h r o n i c l e Issue #229 February 2005 AUTHOR OF THE MONTH BORIS AKUNIN Boris Akunin burst onto the English crime world in 2003 with his first Erast Fandorin mystery, The Winter Queen (Pb 19.95), set in Moscow, 1876. A young law student commits suicide in broad daylight in Moscow’s Alexander Gardens. But this is no ordinary death, for the young man was the son of an influential industrialist. Erast Fandorin, a hotheaded new recruit to the Criminal Investigation Department, is assigned to the case. Brilliant, young and sophisticated, Fandorin embarks on an investigation that will take him from the palatial mansions of Moscow to the seedy backstreets of London in his hunt for the conspirators. 2004 saw the publication of the second volume, Murder on the Leviathan (Pb 19.95). On 15 March 1878, Lord Littleby, an English eccentric and collector, is found murdered in his Paris house, together with nine members of his staff. A gold whale is found in the victim’s hand – a badge owned only by the first class ticket holders on the maiden voyage of the Leviathan, the world’s largest steamship. Commissioner Gauche of the French police is called to solve the ‘Crime of the Century’ and narrows the suspects down to ten, who are forced to eat every meal together in the ship’s Windsor Suite. Amongst these ten is the elegant young Erast Fandorin. Can he discover the murderer’s identity before Gauche? Now the third adventure, which is set between the previous two books during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877, Turkish Gambit (Tp 29.95), is available.

  • 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
