"Samuel Koteliansky (1880-1955) fled the pogroms of Russia in 1911 and established himself as a friend of many of Britain's literati and intellectuals, who were fascinated by his homeland's more civilized side: the Ballets Russes, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov. Kot, as he was known, soon became an indispensable guide to Russian culture for England's leading writers, artists, and intellectuals, who in turn helped introduce British audi ..."

"In this wry, judiciously balanced, and thoroughly engaging book, Galya Diment explores the complicated and fascinating relationship between Vladimir Nabokov and his Cornell colleague Marc Szeftel who, in the estimate of many, served as the prototype for the gentle protagonist of the novel Pnin. She offers astute comments on Nabokov's fictional process in creating Timogey Pnin and addresses hotly debated questions and long-standing riddl ..."

"“You, not being a Dostoevsky fan won't get a full flavour of it,” Murry wrote to Lady
Glenavy then.20 The full flavour was, of course, that there are few characters in
all of world literature more loathsome than Dostoevsky's Smerdyakov. An
illegitimate son of Fyodor Karamazov, Smerdyakov tortures stray cats as a child,
lives in Fyodor's house as a lackey, and eventually commits patricide. His mere
name, which is based on the word t ..."

"In a comparative study, Galya Diment draws a novel comparison between two giants of Modernism and a relatively obscure 19th-century Russian Realist, claiming that the three writers all re-invented the idea of duality in literature. Focusing on Woolf's "To the Lighthouse", Joyce's "Ulysses" and Goncharov's "A Common Story", she introduces and redefines the idea of "co-consciousness" as the mechanism that allows each work to transcend the ..."

"Katherine Mansfield's passion for Russian literature and culture is well documented in her letters and notebooks. Anton Chekhov was not just one of her most significant literary influences, but also a mythological presence with whom she mentally communicated every day. The emotional bond became even stronger when she discovered that the two of them shared the same deadly disease. But her fascination with Russia and its culture extended ..."
"Even though Ivan Goncharov wrote several books that were widely read and discussed during his lifetime, today he is remembered for one novel, Oblomov, published in 1859, an indisputable classic of Russian literature, the artistic stature and cultural significance of which may be compared only to other such masterpieces as Nikolai Gogol's Dead Souls, Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, and Fyodor Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov. Stephen Pearl's ..."
"First published 150 years ago, Ivan Goncharov’s Oblomov is and undisputed classic of Russian literature, the artistic stature and cultural significance of which have been compared to such master pieces as Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina and Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Brothers Karamazov. Until now, no English-language edition has done justice to this astonishing, sidesplitting, and deeply poignant novel. Years in preparation, Stephan Pearl’s landma ..."
