The poet Wilhelm Kuchelbecker, Pushkin's school-friend, suffered
twenty years of imprisonment and Siberian exile for his part in the
ill-fated Decembrist rising of 1825 against the Russian autocracy.
His largely forgotten life and work are vividly recreated in
Kuchlya (1925), a pioneering historical novel by the eminent
literary scholar and Formalist theorist Yury Tynyanov. Writing at a
time when Stalin was tightening his grip on Soviet culture and
society, Tynyanov implicitly brings together the disquieting
experiences of the 1820s and the 1920s. In a lively, innovative
style, his gripping and moving narrative, here translated for the
first time, evokes the childhood, youth, beliefs and often absurd
adventures of a Quixotic, idealistic protagonist against the richly
complex backdrop of post-Napoleonic Russian society.
