Newly Translated From The Russian By Andrew R. MacAndrew.Afterword By William E. Harkins. 317 pages. paperback. CT107. Cover: Lambert. keywords: Signet Classic Paperback Russia Translated Literature 19th Century. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Rated 'among the very greatest novels in the world' by Arnold Bennett, The Golovlovs is one of the last - translated, but highest - ranking, realistic novels of nineteenth - century Russia. The vicious circle of greed, self - pity and hypocritical repentance perpetuated by Anna Petrovna, her children, and her children's children in pursuit of money brings disaster to bear on Golovlovo, the gray, half - ruined estate where family and servants conspire against their mistress. Anna's venomous relationship with her sons casts early implications of the ruin to follow, in which every offender grows strangely sympathetic. One by one, and with curious reversals of character, the Golovlovs fall prey to fantasy, drink, insanity, and moral disintegration, dispensing hatred, wit, and hideous flatteries. The Golovlovs is a 'novel of the generations,' which describes the fall of a house with all the scope and insight of artworks ranging from those that dealt with the House of Atreus to the novels of Thomas Mann and William Faulkner. inventory #29248 Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers.
