Boston. 1990. Eridanos Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0941419363. Translated from the Russian and with an Introduction by Mirra Ginsburg. 137 pages. hardcover. On the cover: An 18th Century Russian folk woodcut. Design by Armando Milani. keywords: Literature Russia Translated. FROM THE PUBLISHER-These two historical novellas are stinging comments on the absurdity of power-and the vanity of power. Their underlying philosophy is deep pessimism over human destiny and human capabilities. Yet Tynyanov's mastery of the hilarious and grotesque, his superb sense of crazy plot, make this book marvelous reading. ‘Two glittering novellas from a Russian master satirize the abuses of 18th-and 19th-century czarist regimes, none too obliquely implicating Stalin himself, in full power when both were written. Lieutenant Kije, the inspiration for the suite by Prokofiev, is a triumph of grotesquerie: at the court of mad Emperor Paul I, terror reigns, with courtiers in such fear of the czar that none dares to emend an officially approved memorandum that erroneously declares one officer dead and, through another slip, creates a nonexistent lieutenant. With magisterial modulation, Tynyanov recounts the psychic disintegration of the first and the splendid rise of the second. Similar absurdities mark Young Vitushishnikov, which juggles a larger cast, at the court of Paul's son Emperor Nicholas I, but drolly delineates each member. In these works laughter and despair are inseparable. '-Publishers Weekly. inventory #42880.
