Kneel, first of all. View all 9 comments. Oct 26, Rowena rated it it was amazing Shelves: russian-litshort- stories. I'm not sure how I came across this writer but I'm glad I did. This book is a collection of six engaging short stories. The titular story, The Enchanted Wanderer, is the longest and the The Enchanted Wanderer entertaining. It reminded me somewhat of Voltaire's Candide, but a tamed down version. This book was different from other Russian novels I've read because instead of focusing on the aristocracy, the stories The Enchanted Wanderer on the working class. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys Russian literature. This selection of tales is not what you're excepting from a Russian writer. Especially the title giving tale The Enchanted Wanderer The Enchanted Wanderer very entertaining. The Enchanted Wanderer is a classic picaresque tale and reminded me a lot of Candide. The story I enjoyed most was Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. The main character kills both her father in law and her husband to live with her lover. I didn't judge her for that but later for mudering the child and I liked her revenge at the end of The Enchanted Wanderer tale. View all 6 comments. Shelves: kindleshelf The Enchanted Wanderer, fictionpurchased-from-kindle-storepublic-highlightsin-cloud- readerrecommendations. The works of Nikolai Leskov are diminutive not just in The Enchanted Wanderer, but it seems The Enchanted Wanderer also appear on the onset less in contextual form in comparison to the somewhat light seeking, of highfalutin divine derivation known to the great Russian writers of the 19th century. It is to course through the bucolic similarities of his works in its utter simplicity as it profoundly becomes the sheer ingredients necessary to picture the culture and tradition enveloping the Russian peasantry of the 19th century. The perceived impoverishment of literature was connected first of all with the multiplication of railroads, which are very useful for commerce, but harmful for artistic literature. Hence the poverty. I must The Enchanted Wanderer that I hadn't heard about Nikolai Leskov before. This book showed-up in my recommendations of GoodReads. I am glad it did! It has been one amazing read The Enchanted Wanderer stories about rural live in Russia, christianity, mercants and nobility, growing up, mystic. Some made me laugh, others almost cry, think about live. All are written splendidly and vividly let the reader see what live was in that The Enchanted Wanderer, how the people from the lowest bragger to saints and princes thought and behaved. I read the Ebook version, translated by Richard Peaver and Larissa Volokhonsky, and it contains the following short stories: The Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk: not the best of Leskov's stories, but a nice start nonetheless. The Sealed Angel: truly amazing! I am not a religious person, yet this story about a group of 'old believers' who saw their icons being sealed in wax by the authority is superb. It shows in detail how The Enchanted Wanderer pray and believe and go in search of an icon painter to help them, without ever reaching a point of dull 'forced' religious lessons. Leskov himself had great respect for the old believers, and he managed to turn that respect in writing in a way that shows both their due and made the reader see them in the same light. The Enchanted Wanderer: The title story and also the longest. It's about a man who tells his live story from being a poor orphan boy all the way to being The Enchanted Wanderer old man who goes to a monastry to become a monk. A story about a time in Russia that I can hardly imagine how it must have been, yet Leskov does a great job in telling about it. A story about a man's destiny that is both heartbreaking and loving. Singlemind: What happens when a man reads the bible, and only the bible, and makes his own faith? Singlemind is your answer. The reactions of his fellow citizens when a count or was it a prince? The Devil-chase: I didn't really enjoy this story, but well, it's also one of the shortest. Deathless Golovan: Another great read! It shows how the live was back in the 's in rural Russia. It's about a man from Orel where Leskov grew-up. It's about the different kinds of christiany living side by side. About trusting your neightbour, caring for him and her, fearing of the plaque. I enjoined this story a lot. The White Eagle: Here Leskov turns more towards the nobility. It's about a man who's on a mission that will earn him a reward. I didn't understood it fully I'm afraid. A Flaming Patriot: I must have missed this one, can't say The Enchanted Wanderer it was about. Lefty: Here Leskov turns back toward the true artists of the old believers again. What when your souverein asks you to make something better then the English have done in just a short time? You pray! And not in the church around the corner, no, you go on a journey first and let your faith give you a solution. This story also let's the reader show the difference between the Russian and the English approach to archive greatness. I'm from the Netherlands myself, yet stories The Enchanted Wanderer these inspire me to go and learn more about the Russian culture. I loved this story! The Spirit of Madame de Genlis: Short and very funny. The Enchanted Wanderer won't spoil it for you. You know how it is going to end from the first page, yet when I got there I was like "No! That can't be! It's a great story to read about, heartbreaking. It shows how the people back then and there acted in generosity. The Enchanted Wanderer by Nikolai Leskov: | : Books Shchedrin, 82, is an orchestrator of considerable skill with an eye for color, and the performance Mr. Gergiev drew from the wonderful Mariinsky orchestra and chorus held plenty of individual moments of beauty. The fine cast was led by the rich-voiced Ukrainian bass Oleg Sychov in the title role substituting for Sergei Aleksashkin and included the versatile high tenor Andrei Popov in five roles and the jewel-toned mezzo Kristina Kapustinskaya. But none of them could compensate for a work so musically trite and dramatically slack. It is based The Enchanted Wanderer the eponymous novella by Nikolai Leskova picaresque, zigzagging tale of a man who is at birth promised to the church but destined The Enchanted Wanderer first endure decades of adventures and travails. Shchedrin, who wrote his own libretto, selects only a handful of these episodes and telescopes the story into a maudlin quest for redemption. The opera opens with Ivan Flyagin, a novice, recollecting the path that led him to take orders. He spent 10 years as a captive of Tatars, then entered the service of a prince. Vodka was a problem. He fell in love with a Gypsy girl, Grusha, but lost her to his employer, who seduced and then discarded her. When Grusha begs Ivan to kill her — suicide would jeopardize The Enchanted Wanderer soul — he throws her off The Enchanted Wanderer cliff. The opera ends with Ivan being invested in monastic robes, flanked by the ghosts of the monk and Grusha. Throughout, a chorus offers prayers and commentaries. In the novella, Ivan continues to stumble into trouble after he has taken vows and ends up no nearer to finding enlightenment than before. But there was precious little The Enchanted Wanderer in the opera, nor in this production, by Alexei Stepanyuk, which featured primitive choreography by Dmitry Korneyev and a set, by Alexander Orlov, consisting of tall, dry reeds that snapped and crackled loudly. The music is a grab bag of stock effects from Russian music: bumbling bassoons and oompah brass for rustic scenes, floating pianissimo choral lines draped underneath slow declamatory solos, a tangle of oboes beautifully played for the Russian shepherds. Religious nostalgia and folkloric earnestness cling to the score like heavy perfume. Sychov coped admirably with the interminable scenes that have him reciting his tale in long, sustained phrases. As the Gypsy girl Grusha, Ms. Kapustinskaya sang with concentrated emotion. But her slender, gleaming tone did little The Enchanted Wanderer enliven a part that is musically The Enchanted Wanderer and blandly devoid of eroticism.

  • Natalia Bakhareva – Women Film Pioneers Project
    3/23/2021 Natalia Bakhareva – Women Film Pioneers Project Natalia Bakhareva Also Known As: Natalia Noga, Natalia Poliushkina Lived: 1887? - 1958 Worked as: journalist, playwright, producer, screenwriter, writer Worked In: Russia by Anna Kovalova Natalia Bakhareva was the first self-sufficient female film producer in Russia. Unlike Antonina Khanzhonkova and Elizaveta Thiemann, who produced films for studios officially owned by their husbands, Bakhareva opened her own film company and became its official head. In the 1916 reference guide Vsia Kinematographia/All the Cinematography, there are two titles for her company: “The Artistic Film” [“Khudozhestvennaia lenta”] and “N. D. Bakhareva and K” (31). In the trade press, Bakhareva’s studio was later called “The Russian Film Business” [“Rossiiskoe Kino-delo”] and “The Film Business” [“Kino-delo”] (“Novye lenty” [1917]; “Khronika” [1916]). Sometimes films produced by her studio were associated with a company called Prodalent, which distributed them. In her studio, Bakhareva worked not only as a producer but also as a screenwriter. She wrote scripts for six films, but none of her screenplays have been preserved. Moreover, all the films released by The Artistic Film (and later The Russian Film Business) are lost, and it is hard to judge their aesthetic value. We are fortunate to have Bakhareva’s memoirs today, which are held at the Bakhmeteff Archive of Russian and East European Culture at Columbia University, but these papers are dedicated to the writer Nikolai Leskov, Bakhareva’s famous grandfather, and, unfortunately, provide very little information about her work in cinema and the films she made. In fact, Bakhareva’s grandfather was a presence throughout much of her career.

  • Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District: About Leskov's Literariness1
    Maya Kucherskaya Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk district: About Leskov's Literariness1 The viper pours poison, with a pipette, right into the ear Radiating with spiritual beauty 2. 1. Introduction In 1921, in „Novejshaia russkaia poeziia” [Recent Russian Poetry], one of his early works, Roman Jakobson wrote, „The sub­ ject of literary scholarship is not literature in its totality but liter­ ariness, i. e., that which makes a given work a work of literature /.../ If literary scholarship wants to be scholarly, it must recognize ‘the [literary] device’ as its only ‘protagonist.’ The next main question is how the device is applied and motivated.” 3 © Maya Kucherskaya, 2010 © TSQ 33. Summer 2010 (http://www.utoronto.ca/tsq/) 1 I am most grateful to Mila Nazyrova, Olga Meerson and Ekaterina Schnit­ ke for providing their valuable feedback. 2 Льет стерва яд с пипетки прямо в ухо, Душевною блистая красотой. The oral variant of the song „Khodit Gamlet s pistoletom” (by Alexei Okhri­ menko, Sergei Kristi and Vladimir Shreiberg, 1950), published in: Антология бардовской песни. Сост. Р. Шипов — М.: Эксмо, 2006. The present variant is provided by Alexander Lifshits (The Library of MSU). 3 «Предметом науки о литературе является не литература, а литератур­ ность, т. е. то, что делает данное произведение литературным произведе­ нием. (…) Если наука о литературе хочет стать наукой, она принуждается признать „прием” своим единственным «героем». Далее основной во­ прос — вопрос о применении, оправдании приема.» (Якобсон Р., «Новей­ шая русская поэзия», Якобсон Р. Работы по поэтике: Переводы. М.: Про­ гресс, 1987. P. 275.) 261 The obvious polemical rigorism of the quoted passage, and the historical and cultural biases of Jakobson's essay, hardly compromise the role of the artistic device in a literary text.

Leskov My fervent greetings to you and your “Toupee Artist”, which made a powerful im- pression on me despite its scant number of pages. As a Soviet writer, you have mas- tered the art, telling a tale that isn’t just about workers of the theater, but which pre- sents the history of the harsh, corrupt oppression of serfdom, which hung as a yoke over the necks of the masses for many centuries. As the centuries passed, like a black vortex, our Rus’ was sucked down and swamped by all the creatures that de- faced the Earth with their disease. It’s painful to look at the tortured faces of cultural works, to see their “toupee-ness” in the Revolution (the main revolutionary forces were not the peasants, but the working ‘proletariat’) [Отзывы: Л. 15]2.

Leskov has | From Booklist | While Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy produced gargantuan novels that put Russia on the world literary map, Leskov (1831–95) thrived with short fiction, achieving similar renown only with (and because Nikolai Leskov's writing exploded the conventions of nineteenth-century Russian fiction. Here is the other Russia, mythical and untamed: an uneasy synthesis of Orthodoxy and Old Believers, a land populated by soldiers and monks, serfs and princes, Tartars and gypsies—a vast country brimming with the promise of magic.

  • “Shakespeare… Was Russian Writer Probably Because the Name Does Not Like Chinese”: Two Libroutopias in Post-Soviet Literatures of Belarus and Russia
    Maksym W. Kyrchanoff “Shakespeare… was Russian writer probably because the name does not like Chinese”: two libroutopias in post-Soviet literatures of Belarus and Russia Personal incentives that forced the author to write this article or non- academic introduction Academic articles root in the necessary formalised scientific backgrounds, but sometimes external factors that formally have nothing in common with science can stimulate and inspire us to write academic texts. The author of this article admits that two groups of reasons stimulated the writing of it. On the one hand, the author in 2016 began to write a new book focused on utopias and anti-utopias as forms and factors of the development of identities and political imaginations. On the other hand, several reasons that have nothing in common with my academic interests inspired me to write an article about librotopia – a new trend in the development of modern (anti)utopia where the book and reading become collective heroes or victims of transforming realities and consumer society. Personally, I love reading. When I entered the university I became a regular visitor to the library. My recent wedding and the move of my wife forced me to castling in my room and to free two shelves for my wife’s books. These simple manual manipulations and attempts to fit books in Russian, Ukrainian, Croatian, Bulgarian, English, Georgian, Latvian and other languages in several lines inspired unhappy and not too optimistic thoughts about the book’s fate in its traditional paper format. Visiting of huge trading malls is the forced duty of a resident of a contemporary city with a million population.

A welcome new translation of Leskov’s grand metaphysical romp, a hallmark of 19th-century Russian literature. Leskov (1831–1895) is less well-known in this country than his near-contemporaries Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and even if Anton Chekhov claimed him as a literary ancestor—and that’s saying something—Leskov’s masterpiece doesn’t often figure on reading lists. Pevear and Volokhonsky, late of War and Peace , Anna Karenina and Dr. Zhivago , may remedy that with this accessible translation, which does a good job of preserving some of Leskov’s well-known wordplay while not being pedantic.
