Description
Tula encyclopedist (novella) — the story of the long and remarkable life of the Russian naturalist scientist and writer Andrei Timofeevich Bolotov.
Andrei Timofeevich Bolotov, a Russian writer, memoirist, moral philosopher, scientist, botanist and forester, was one of the founders of agronomy and pomology in Russia. He made a major contribution to establishing tomatoes and potatoes in Russia as agricultural crops.
He is famous for his many-volume work, which he wrote for about thirty years, from 1789 to 1816. This work is his “Notes,” titled “The Life and Adventures of Andrei Bolotov, Described by Himself for His Descendants.” He vividly portrayed the inner life of Russian society throughout the entire 18th century, beginning in 1738 and touching on its many facets. These “Notes” are the most important materials for the history of Russian everyday life: they provide detailed information about the home and public upbringing of Russian nobles, about their provincial and capital, domestic and social life, about their military and household service. In addition, the “Notes” give an idea of the state of agriculture, Russian literature, science, and the book trade, and they speak quite extensively about Russia’s participation in the war with Frederick II and about Catherine’s wars against the Turks, the Poles, and the Swedes.
