Book excerpt: Ivan Turgenev, one of the greatest Russian writers, was the first to achieve real fame outside of his own country. He spent most of his adult life in Western Europe and started to write letters, not just to keep his friends informed of his progress, but 'in order to receive replies'. An entertaining and accomplished correspondent, he rarely objected to publication of his letters, which were written with that possibility in mind. This selection of full letters spans more than fifty years, from 1831 until just before Turgenev's death in September 1883. Turgenev enjoyed conversations by post, debating social and political questions, and issues in literature, art and music. Among his correspondents were major writers of the day (including Flaubert, Zola, Maupassant, Henry James, Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky) as well as friends and relations. Many of the letters reveal his views on contemporary literary and social events in Russia and Europe; others, to his publishers, translators and to aspiring authors, give some of his criteria for a writer. These letters will not provide an answer to the Turgenev enigma, but they do show many sides of this fascinating and mercurial man. The letters are in chronological sections. A biographical framework is provided both by the introductions to these sections and to individual letters, and by the inclusion of letters covering the main events of his life. This selection is an important contribution both to our knowledge and understanding of nineteenth-century Russian and European history and literature. A.V. Knowles is Senior Lecturer in Russian at the University of Liverpool and is the editor of the Tolstoy volume in The Critical Heritage series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The letters of the great Russian writer Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev to M me Pauline Viardot; the famous singer; have their story. Lost or stolen; when the war of 1870 forced the Viardot family to leave Baden for London; these letters were found more than a quarter of a century later. Naturally; Ms. Viardot wished to take possession of documents which she had never voluntarily divested; and to which she had all the moral and legal rights. On the other hand; the motives advanced by the present possessor to keep the letters were not without value either. He had found the precious package-among some unimportant papers-in a box he had bought from a Berlin bookstaller; he; in his turn; had acquired it from the widow of a French doctor; it seems; here; stop my investigation on the origin of the box. Be that as it may; the last purchaser; a devoted admirer of Tourgueneff; made it his duty to preserve as a sacred deposit the correspondence which chance placed in his hands until the day when he could make it public; and he thought that this day could come only after the death of the recipient of the letters. Since; in the end; the owner of the letters was less preoccupied with a pecuniary question than with the desire to surround this publication with better possible literary conditions; I end up persuading him of the real advantages that would be gained by living it. under the auspices of the famous artist.

Download or read book A Public Empire written by Ekaterina Pravilova and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Property rights" and "Russia" do not usually belong in the same sentence. Rather, our general image of the nation is of insecurity of private ownership and defenselessness in the face of the state. Many scholars have attributed Russia's long-term development problems to a failure to advance property rights for the modern age and blamed Russian intellectuals for their indifference to the issues of ownership. A Public Empire refutes this widely shared conventional wisdom and analyzes the emergence of Russian property regimes from the time of Catherine the Great through World War I and the revolutions of 1917. Most importantly, A Public Empire shows the emergence of the new practices of owning "public things" in imperial Russia and the attempts of Russian intellectuals to reconcile the security of property with the ideals of the common good. The book analyzes how the belief that certain objects—rivers, forests, minerals, historical monuments, icons, and Russian literary classics—should accede to some kind of public status developed in Russia in the mid-nineteenth century. Professional experts and liberal politicians advocated for a property reform that aimed at exempting public things from private ownership, while the tsars and the imperial government employed the rhetoric of protecting the sanctity of private property and resisted attempts at its limitation. Exploring the Russian ways of thinking about property, A Public Empire looks at problems of state reform and the formation of civil society, which, as the book argues, should be rethought as a process of constructing "the public" through the reform of property rights.
