  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • Toronto Slavic Quarterly. № 43. Winter 2013
    TRANSLATION Aleksandr Chekhov In Melikhovo Translated by Eugene Alper This translation came about as the result of a surprise. A few years ago I noticed in amazement that despite the all-pervasive interest in everything and anything related to Anton Chekhov, among the multiple translations of his stories and plays, among the many biographies, research papers, and monographs describing his life in minute details and spliting hairs over the provenance of his characters, amidst the lively and bubbly pond of chekhovedenie, there was a lacuna: a number of memoirs about Chekhov writen by people closest to him were not available in English. Since then I have translated a couple of them—About Chekhov by his personal physician Isaac Altshuller (in Chekhov the Immigrant: Translating a Cultural Icon, Michael C. Finke, Julie de Sherbinin, eds., Slavica, 2007) and Anton Chekhov: A Brother’s Memoir by his younger brother Mikhail, Palgrave Macmillan, 2009, as have other translators, the most recent being Peter Sekirin’s Memories of Chekhov (McFarland, 2011)—but there is still more to be done. The book by Chekhov’s sister Maria, for one, remains unavailable to the English reader. The following translation of a memoir by Chekhov’s older brother Alek- sandr is aiming to place another litle patch over the gap. Aleksandr Chekhov (1855-1913) was an accomplished writer in his own right; although never rising to Anton’s level of celebrity (very few could), his short stories, essays, and articles were published regularly during his lifetime. This memoir—one of several writen by Aleksandr following Anton’s death in 1904—was published in 1911.

  • FALL 2018 RUT 3101 (1404): Russian Masterpieces General Education Course
    FALL 2018 RUT 3101 (1404): Russian Masterpieces General Education Course (H, N) M, W, F: Period 9 (4:05 PM - 4:55 PM), TUR 2336 Instructor: Professor Galina Rylkova ([email protected]) office hours: Tuesdays 3.15-4.30 p.m.; Thursdays 4.15-5.30 p.m., room 256 Dauer Hall Course description: When Virginia Woolf read Dostoevsky, she compared the experience to crawling out from under a train wreck. Down through the years millions of readers have had powerful – if far more pleasant – experiences reading Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov. Join us for a course that's not too difficult but that is very memorable. Format: Lectures and discussion. The main emphasis will be on what is called “close reading” of the assigned texts. No knowledge of Russian required. Factual quizzes, and take-home mid-term and final. Learning Outcomes: Students will get acquainted with selected Russian masterpieces, well known to the majority of Russians. Russian culture has been traditionally logocentric, with writers playing an unusually important role in defining Russia’s social, political and cultural development. As one expert put it, “Russian literature is compact, intensely self-reflexive, and always about to forget that it is merely made up out of words. Imagined characters walk out of fiction into real life, while real-life writers are raised to the status of myth.” Reading Russian literature is a rewarding aesthetic experience, in the course of which students will also learn some basic literary and cultural concepts which they will be able to apply to the analysis of any literary or cultural text/situation in the future.

  • What More Can We Know About Chekhov?
    80 | 81 What more can we know about Chekhov? CHEKHOVS WORK If we thirst to know more about Chekhov than, say, Donald Rayfield about Tolstoy, one of the reasons is that he wrote relati• vely so little. True, his collected works (not counting let• ters) amount to some eighteen volumes, but if we sub• tract from them all the juvenilia (most of which requi• res a lot of hindsight to see as the work of a budding genius), we are left with a body of work that will fit quite comfortably into one volume. Like most writers, Chekhov achieves classic status only when he is sufficiently well-off (or well-paid) to write only what he wants to write. He reached that stage in 1888 not long before his thirtieth birthday, after the public acknowledgement of Steppe. If we con• sider that Chekhov was virtually lost to literature for 1890, the year of his trek to Sakhalin, and that his health collapses in spring 1897» Chekhov's prime is a mere seven years, little longer than Lermontov's. True, three of the major four plays The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, The Cherry Orchard and half a dozen of his greatest stories from Lady with Dog to The Bride are yet to be written, but Chekhov averaged just one page of print a week for his last seven years. Thus his chief occupation between 1897 and 1904 was not writing but dying. The problems of Chekhov's reception lie not in any flaw in his work, not in any difficulty in interpreting it (however perverse some theatre directors and critics are).

  • Celebrating the Holiday Tradition
    Celebrating the Holiday Tradition Every family has their own special holiday tradition. Most of those traditions are spent gathered around the table with friends and family, enjoying the abundance of food and drink with recipes passed down from generation to generation. To kick off the holiday season, we asked the Club Auto Sport staff to share their family's favorite holiday recipes. Some were, well, traditional (Turkeys! Trees!); Others not so much (Pickles! Wrapping!) Some date back to childhood; others are beginning for the first time this year. Despite the differences in these rituals, a tradition has been and always will be a bread-crumb trail to our past. So pull the hand-stitched cardigan out of the closet, and cozy up to these holly, jolly recipes.

New beginnings are explored, both as resurrection of long dead feelings and as starting afresh after loss. A husband finds distraction in a covert project after his wife’s death, so much so that his preoccupied isolation worries his two adult children. The son comes to investigate, and his malfunctioning car leads to a reunion and the beginnings of reconciliation.
