Description
We offer you an exceptional work of satirical Russian literature. Before this novella, there had been no such biting and deep satire of Russia’s political and social order. The historical foundation of life is presented from such an angle that not a few contemporaries, in indignation, branded the novella a slander on Russian history. And yet, despite it, in Saltykov-Shchedrin there is more than just ruthless mockery and sharpness: there is also a great deal of tenderness and personal pain for his people—something that prevents the novella from turning into a crude caricature.
