Andrei Bely's novel Petersburg is considered one of the four
greatest prose masterpieces of the 20th century. In this new
edition of the best-selling translation, the reader will have
access to the translators' detailed commentary, which provides the
necessary historical and literary context for understanding the
novel, as well as a foreword by Olga Matich, acclaimed scholar of
Russian literature. Set in 1905 in St. Petersburg, a city in the
throes of sociopolitical conflict, the novel follows university
student Nikolai Apollonovich Ableukhov, who has gotten entangled
with a revolutionary terrorist organization with plans to
assassinate a government official–Nikolai's own father, Apollon
Apollonovich Ableukhov. With a sprawling cast of characters, set
against a nightmarish city, it is all at once a historical,
political, philosophical, and darkly comedic novel.
