Timeless greatness - but you may weepBy Anne De Bourg"Mymy", an intensely moving tale, is one of the greatest short stories ever written. And it is written by one of the world's greatest short-story writers. If you have never read it, you must, or there will be forever a hole in your knowledge and a lack in your understanding. Mymy is part of the world's cultural heritage. Few fiction writers can create fully three- dimensional credible human beings with words, or evoke a time and place as vividly and truthfully, as Anton Chechov can. To read this little book is to live, experience, and feel in another dimension.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

A Deeply Moving Experience: Turgenev's 'Mumu' read by Max PollingerBy Grady HarpMax Bollinger continues to bring to our attention works of Russian literature (Bollinger was born in Russia but now lives and works in England). His previous audio books of stories by Chekhov has a growing listening public, so much of the flavor of the works as read by Bollinger is essentially Russian, that together with Bollinger's training in acting makes him the perfect narrator. Now here is a new release of the story Mumu by Ivan Turgenev, a story not many of us may know, but in this reading Bollinger makes it come alive. The first section sets the mood of the story reading a fine translation by Constance Garnett, describing the owner of an aging mansion and her porter Gerasim.The story has been described as follows: 'A terrible story that, better than any manifesto, indicted the absolute tyrannical cruelty of pre-revolutionary landowners in Russia. Gerasim is a deaf and dumb peasant, brought from the country to serve his mistress (modeled on Turgenev's monstrous mother) as caretaker of her city property on the outskirts of Moscow. He doesn't like his new life, but gets used to it, especially after he rescues a little puppy with black and white spots from the riverbank. Having this dog, Mumu, he finally has love in his bitter and otherwise loveless life, and the dog worships him. But one day the mistress calls for Mumu to be brought into her presence; when it was shy of her and bared its teeth at her approach, the mistress was stung to a fury, implacably ordering, "see that she isn't here today--do you hear?" Her butler Gavrilo tries to sell Mumu, but she finds her way back. Gerasim hides the dog, but the mistress gets wise when Mumu's guard dog instincts make her bark at an intruder. This time the writing is on the wall: Gerasim is ordered to hand Mumu over--to be destroyed. The mistress will NOT have that ungrateful dog disturbing her rest.'To share more will take away from the enchanting manner in which Bollinger reads this fascinating tale of Russian realism. Once again, Max Bolinger adds to the popularity of Russian literature, opening windows into a country too often clouded in controversy but at the same time so very rich in art in all forms. Grady Harp, December 10 Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev was a Russian novelist, short story writer, and playwright. His first major publication, a short story collection entitled A Sportsman's Sketches (1852), was a milestone of Russian Realism, and his novel Fathers and Sons (1862) is regarded as one of the major works of 19th-century fiction. An absolute classic, Mumu gives a wonderfully vivid picture of life for the poor in Russia, can't be faulted. It is great to have an audio book version, which really brought the story to life. I really enjoyed listening to this, but the real star is Turgenev's writing. Nikki Pierce (UK) Mumu by Ivan Tergenev is a brilliant story superbly narrated by Max Bollinger. By turns tragic and comic the story concerns a deaf mute serf whose love for a laundress is unrequited and who instead befriends a dog, the Mumu of the title. Alan Moreton (UK) It is a poignant story which brought me close to tears. But it made me think as well. The narrator has done a very good job with his choice of translation and his slight accent adds to the story. Not having read the original story I cannot comment on his adaptation, but this edition has whet my appetite for Turgenev on the page. Joseph Belliveau (Canada) --interactive.eu.comGerasim is a deaf mute servant in the household of a cantankerous old widow outside Moscow. He finds comfort in his isolated life of arduous work in his beloved dog, Mimi, but the widow orders the animal's destruction. A harrowing short story published in 1854, its vivid portrayal of callous cruelty towards serfs is believed to have influenced opinion in favour of the abolition of serfdom seven years later. The narration is Russian accented English communicates all of Turgenev's favour. --Rachel Redford, The Observer (UK) interactive.eu.comAn absolute classic, Mumu gives a wonderfully vivid picture of life for the poor in Russia, can't be faulted.
