A Family of Noblemen" is a satirical novel penned by using Mikhail Evgrafovich Saltykov, a distinguished Russian creator and satirist. The novel, serves as a scathing critique of the Russian nobility and societal norms time-honored for the duration of the nineteenth century. The narrative revolves around the Golovlyov family, an aristocratic family steeped in decadence, ethical degradation, and an insatiable desire for wealth and electricity. The relevant determine is Porfiry Golovlyov, a tyrannical and despotic landowner whose moves and decisions form the fate of the family. As the narrative unfolds, Saltykov exposes the ethical decay and hypocrisy within the aristocracy, portraying the characters as embodiments of corruption and ethical financial disaster. Saltykov's use of satire and irony is a powerful observation at the societal and political troubles of his time. Through the lens of the Golovlyov family, he criticizes the oppressive nature of the Russian autocracy, the exploitation of peasants, and the moral shortcomings of the the Aristocracy. "A Family of Noblemen" is a darkish and biting portrayal of a decaying social magnificence and the outcomes of unchecked privilege.

Foolsburg

The History of a Town

By: Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin

The award-winning translators bring us a new translation of an 1870 comic novel by Russia's greatest satirist—whose mockery of Russian autocracy is as relevant as ever. “Pevear and Volokhonsky [are the] reigning translators of Russian literature. . . . In Russia, The History of a Town is read in schools and regarded as a masterpiece of 19th-century satire. . . . [This new translation] is an argument for the book’s Swiftian wit and its relevance to Russia and the United States today.” —The New York Times A major classic in Russia since its publication, Foolsburg is the farcical chronicle of a fictional town and its hapless inhabitants as they passively endure the violence and lunacy of their rulers. The succession of brutal mayors of the town include such surreal extremes as a man with a music box instead of a brain and one so tall that he snaps in half during a windstorm. Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin marries biting satire reminiscent of Jonathan Swift with the fantastical absurdity of Nikolai Gogol, imbued throughout with his own brand of playful wordplay. The award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have produced the first translation of this work into English that successfully captures its zany humor and enduring relevance.
