This collection of essays on Turgenev, Nietzsche, Goncharov,
Austen, Conrad, Dostoevsky, Blok, Briusov, Gorky, Gogol, Pasternak
and Nabokov is diverse, but also unified. One unifying element is
the recurring distinction between "culture" and "civilization" and
the vision of Russia as the bearer of culture because it retains
much "barbarism." Another is the vision of a synthesis between
"sense and sensibility," Apollo and Dionysus, mind and heart
creating a "civilized culture." This collection of articles adds
new perspectives to the much-debated opposition of a vital Russia
and a declining West, offering novel interpretations of classics
from "A Terrible Vengeance" to Oblomov, from "Song of Triumphant
Love" to The Idiot and Doctor Zhivago to Lolita. It also discusses
less well known texts, such as Gorky's "Italian Fairytales" and
Briusov's early "exotic" verse.
