Petersburg

Andrei Bely · 2010

<b>Set in Saint Petersburg during the Revolution of 1905, this classic of Russian literature draws comparisons to James Joyce’s <i>Ulysses</i> for its display of symbolism and humor</b><br>  <br> After enlisting in a revolutionary terrorist organization, the university student Nikolai Apollonovich Ableukhov is entrusted with a highly dangerous mission: to plant a bomb and assassinate a major government figure.<br><br> But the real central character of <i>Petersburg</i> is the Russian capital itself—caught in the grip of political agitation and social unrest at the beginning of the twentieth century.<br><br> Intertwining the worlds of history and myth, and parading a cast of unforgettable characters, <i>Petersburg</i> is a story of apocalypse and redemption played out through family dysfunction, conspiracy, and murder.<br>  <br> “The most important, most influential, and most perfectly realized Russian novel written in the 20th century.” <b>—<i>The New York Times</i></b><i> <b>Book Review</b></i>
