Searingly hot in the summer, bitterly cold in the winter, the
ancestral estate of the Golovlyov family is the end of the road.
There Anna Petrovna rules with an iron hand over her servants and
family-until she loses power to the relentless scheming of her
hypocritical son Judas.
One of the great books of Russian literature, " The Golovlyov
Family" is a vivid picture of a condemned and isolated outpost of
civilization that, for contemporary readers, will recall the
otherwordly reality of Macondo in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "One
Hundred Years of Solitude."

Arina Petrovna rules the Golovlev family with an iron hand. Around
her swarm her family; her alcoholic sons, dissipated grandchildren
and degenerate husband. But in his darkened study, her son Porfiry
schemes for an overthrow of power. In this powerful novel, the
great Russian satirist presents a stark portrait of the Russian
gentry sapped by generations of idleness and social irrelevance.
