THIS 58 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Stories By
Foreign Authors: Turgenev, Poushkin, Gogol And Tolstoi, by Ivan
Turgenev. To purchase the entire book, please order ISBN
1419113321.
What makes a great writer? What should his attitude be to his own
environment and to European culture? How should he transmute his
own experience of life into a work of art? And how should he keep
his integrity in face of censorship.
These and other vital questions bearing directly on the art of
creative writing Ivan Turgenev considers in his immensely
fascinating Literary Reminiscences, towards the end of his life and
now translated for the first time into English. These Reminiscences
contain several brilliant sketches of famous Russian writers;
including Belinsky, Gogol, Krylov and Lermontov, as well as
tantalizing glimpses of Pushkin. In addition, the book contains
fragments of Turgenev's autobiography, each one of which is not
only of biographical value but of outstanding psychological
interest among them is his own account of A Fire at Sea'.
The Literary Reminiscences have been translated by David
Magarshack, who has written an introduction filling in the of the
various in the book and thus making it into one conservative and
casily comprehensible whole. Edmund Wilson, in his long, full and
characteristically stimulating prefatory Essay, combines literary
criticism with an examination of Turgenev's extraordinary family
and early environment.
