Description
“The Tempter” is a work by the Russian writer and playwright, the founder of the Russian historical novel, M. N. Zagoskin (1789–1852). The novel was published in 1838. The author returned to the beloved theme of his childhood—the “Gothic” novel. He explained: “I cannot describe the indescribable pleasure I feel every time I listen to a tale that makes the hair on my head stand on end, makes my heart stop, and chills of fear scrape the skin.”
“The Tempter” is unlike Zagoskin’s other “Gothic” novels and became the author’s most significant work in this genre. Here, in the image of evil that comes from the West and tries to destroy Russia’s religious traditions, the writer brings together all the new destructive ideas of the “boisterous minds” who advocate disobedience to authorities and to the law. He openly declares his course toward “firm” patriotism. The Russian public received the novel with delight and admiration. Zagoskin also wrote such works as: “Three Suitors,” “Two Characters. Brother and Sister,” “Brother and Sister,” “A Lesson for the Bachelor, or Heirs,” and “The Noble Theatre.”
