Synopsis
..". a translation that captures Bely's idiosyncratic language andthe rhythm of his prose, and without doing violence to English, conveys not only theliteral meaning of the Russian but also its echoes and implications." -- TheNew York Review of Books "This translation of Petersburgfinally makes it possible to recognize Andrei Bely's great novel of 1913 as acrucial Russian instance of European modernist fiction." --Inquiry "All people who go in for the B's -- Beckett, Brecht, Bu uel -- better get hold of Bely. He came first, and he's still the best." --Washington Post Book World ..". a jewel-cutter'sshowcase." -- Kirkus Reviews ..". the most important, most influential and most perfectly realized Russian novel written in the 20thcentury." -- Simon Karlinsky Here is the long-awaited, authoritative, unabridged translation of Petersburg, the Chef d'oeuvre of Symbolistwriter Andrei Bely. Nabokov has ranked Petersburg beside Joyce's Ulysses, Kafka'sMetamorphosis, and Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu as one of the fourgreat works of prose fiction of the twentieth century., Taking place over a short, turbulent period in 1905, Petersburg is a colourful evocation of Russia's capital - a kaleidoscope of images and impressions, an eastern window on the west, a symbol of the ambiguities and paradoxes of the Russian character. History, culture and politics are blended and juxtaposed; weather reports, current news, fashions and psychology jostle together with people from Petersburg society in an exhilarating search for the identity of a city and, ultimately, Russia itself.
