Download or read book The Society Tale in Russian Literature written by Cornwell and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-12-14 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays is the first book to appear on the society tale in nineteenth-century Russian fiction. Written by a team of British and American scholars, the volume is based on a symposium on the society tale held at the University of Bristol in 1996. The essays examine the development of the society tale in Russian fiction, from its beginnings in the 1820s until its subsumption into the realist novel, later in the century. The contributions presented vary in approach from the text or author based study to the generic or the sociological. Power, gender and discourse theory all feature strongly and the volume should be of considerable interest to students and scholars of nineteenth-century Russian literature. There are essays covering Pushkin, Lermontov, Odoevsky and Tolstoi, as well as more minor writers, and more general and theoretical approaches.

Download or read book Collected Short Stories of Tolstoy written by Leo Tolstoy and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new translation into modern American English directly from the original Russian manuscript of 24 of Tolstoy's short stories. This edition contains an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Tolstoy's life and works, and a glossary of philosophic terminology used throughout Tolstoy's literature and philosophy. These 24 stories are his most profound philosophical narratives across his life, many of whom were unpublished in English until now. From the reflections of a billiard-marker in "Marker's Notes" to the tragic fate of Russian soldiers in "How Russian Soldiers Die," these sharp narratives into the "pity" of human life. Tolstoy's exploration of mortality and death in "Three Deaths" and "The Leap" provide thought-provoking reflections on the consequences of choices and actions. Additionally, stories like "The Blizzard" and "The Surat Coffeehouse" offer vivid portrayals of the transformative power of nature and unexpected human connections. Throughout his short stories, Tolstoy's profound observations and skillful storytelling captivate readers, inviting them to contemplate life from on of the century's greatest thinkers. Many of these short stories are distallations of his greatest works. 1854 - Uncle Zhdanov and Cavalier Chernov (Дяденька Жданов и кавалер Чернов) 1855 - How Russian Soldiers Die (Как умирают русские солдаты) 1855 - Marker's Notes (Записки маркёра) Historically translated under "Recollections of a Billiard-marker", but this is not faithful to the original 1856 - The Blizzard (Метель) 1856 - The Discharged (Разжалованный) 1859 - Three Deaths (Три смерти) 1860 - Excerpts from Stories of Village Life (Отрывки рассказов из деревенской жизни) 1861 - Holstomer (Холстомер) 1872 - The Prisoner of the Caucasus (Кавказский пленник) 1886 - The Leap (Прыжок) 1892 - The Story of an Aeronaut (Рассказ Аэронавта) 1893 - The Surat Coffeehouse (Суратская кофейная) 1894 - It Comes Dearly (Дорого стоит) 1895 - Françoise (Франсуаза) 1896 - Who Is Right?

This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only 100 years ago the main means of transportation in Iran was by quadruped. Transportation & Technology in Iran, 1800-1940, by renowned Iranian studies scholar Willem Floor is an in-depth, illustrated, four-part study of the subject. Until the 1920s Iran had no more than 700 kilometers of roads suitable for motor vehicles, which situation greatly impeded Iran's economic development. Caravans traveled 40 km/day, though travelers in a hurry could cover 150 km/day when using the courier system (chapar), which is the subject of part 1. Wheeled transportation, (in part 2 of the books) was rare and limited to only a few parts of country due to the lack of roads. This situation underwent change when carriages became popular in urban areas and on the few modern roads after 1890. Motorized transportation grew in importance after 1921 and really took off in the 1930s, with the construction of a new road network. As a result, newer, more powerful trucks reduced the cost of transportation significantly, thus lowering the cost of retail goods. The increase of motorized transport also meant that car dealers, import rules, mechanics, garages, supply of spare parts, and gasoline distribution as well as traffic regulations had to be created ex nihilo; All these processes are detailed in the book. Like cars, bicycles and motorcycles also were increasingly used as of the 1920s, thus increasing choice in people's mobility. More road traffic also implied that travelers needed places to spend the night and eat. The change from caravanserais to guest-houses and hotels is discussed in part 3. These changes in transportation methods did not come alone, for other modern tools of change such as the sewing machine and the typewriter also made their appearance and had a major impact on people's availability and use of time. Finally, the piano made its entry onto the Iranian musical scene, and although not perfectly in tune with the traditional Iranian musical system, it is now as much part of music making in Iran as the tar and santur (part 4 of the book). All these changes and new technologies did not happen overnight or without problems, and slow adoption initially was limited to the upper-class. However, with falling prices and changing needs and policies these new technologies eventually reached a larger public and the idea that they once were 'exotic' and 'out of reach' is now inconceivable to Iranians. The studies in this book provide a new vantage point and understanding of the transfer of modern technology for scholars of the social-economic and cultural history of the Middle East.
