About This Novel

The "Golden Russia Series" is edited by Wang Jianzhao, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the Institute of Foreign Literature at Beijing Foreign Studies University and a famous poet and translator. It selects classic works by Pushkin, Herzen, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Turgenev and other masters to present beautiful and profound Russian literature to Chinese readers. "To Her in the Mountains - Selected Poems of Gippius": The selected poems carefully compile more than 140 of the most representative works from Gippius's creations in various periods. These works not only show the suspended state of human beings hesitating, hesitating and struggling between the two poles of life, but also reflect the "eternal poetic desire" held by this female poet for existence, as well as the arrogance of chewing the sweetness of life in suffering and finding hope in despair. Her poems "seem to outline the entire experience of a modern soul in condensed and powerful language with the help of clear and sensitive images." Teffy's Memoirs: Teffy has settled in France since 1920 and enjoys a great reputation among Russian expatriates in Paris. Her memoirs can be called a spiritual journey through Russia, set against the backdrop of the civil war that brought serious disasters to Russia at that time. After the European War broke out in 1914, it triggered a civil war in Russia, leading to the exile and exodus of a large number of people from all walks of life in Russia. Teffy joined this ranks without exception. What she saw and heard during this trip was recorded in her humorous writing style, so that today's readers can have a glimpse of people's mental and living conditions under the rapid changes in society at that time through relaxed reading. "Back to Ithaca": includes ten works including "Back to Ithaca", "Children of the Tree", "Chimes of Heaven", "Inspiration", "A Little Piece of Chocolate Candy", "Cut Your Hair", "Still Waters", "Searching for the Lost Voice", "The Life of Sergei Ipsilanki", and "Ula". It has a very delicate and vivid description of the ordinary and simple father-daughter relationship in the era of drastic changes, the family story of the young disabled person, the lonely old life of the old woman who stayed in the small town, and the spiritual torture that the young writer endured in the pursuit of his dream. This group of young Russian writers appear to be more free and open in their writing techniques, but they still have a sense of national responsibility and mission in their words. Almost every work contains their profound questions about the future of the country and the nation. "Ghost Doll": The novel "Ghost Doll" was written in 1911. It uses real events that occurred in Russia in 1905 as the background of the story. It describes the daily life and situations of the main characters Yuri, Mikhail and others before the Russian Revolution. It restores the historical appearance of Russia during the period of social change and shows the different attitudes and views of people from different classes towards the historical events in Russia in the early 20th century. The work is not only a description of the development process of Russian history, but also integrates Gippius's own philosophical, aesthetic and religious views, using the poet's usual symbolic techniques to retell many eternal issues of human existence, such as life and death, love and sacrifice, human spiritual pursuit and exploration, the meaning and mission of life, etc. "Coming Home from Paradise" is an autobiographical novel by the famous Russian poet Poplavs. It is the second book in Poplawski's trilogy. Poplavs is the most talented poet among the young writers of the first wave of Russian expatriates. He was born in Moscow into a family with a strong artistic atmosphere. His father was a student of Tchaikovsky, and his mother loved the violin. Therefore, he once dreamed of being an artist, but in the end he chose literature as his lifelong career. "Coming Home from Heaven" is autobiographical, containing ruthless confessions and complex reflections. The novel can also be seen as a period of Oleg's mental journey. Through this journey, it expresses the inner conflicts that everyone has: the separation of material and spiritual, spiritual pursuit and attachment to the world. "The Book of the Other Side": It is an important work written by Herzen during his exile in Europe, and it is also a famous work in the history of Russian thought. This is an ideological document with thoughts and words no less than those of "Pasts and Thoughts". The author expressed his worries and concerns about the fate of Russia and the prospects of Europe in the form of letters. He also made profound thoughts on concepts such as revolution, freedom, and democracy, and made an anxious spiritual exploration of the future of mankind. The blend of rigorous political reasoning and passionate literary narrative has become the distinctive feature of this "literary political theory". The writer's social and philosophical thoughts are filled with strong "optimism for peaceful evolution", which is of irreplaceable significance for us to explore the writer's spiritual skeleton and explore the ideological evolution of Russia in the 19th century. Some critics said: "The protagonist of "The Book of the Other Side" is not Herzen, but Herzen's thoughts." "Zoo; The Third Factory": This book contains two works: "Zoo, or Letters Without Love, or the Third Heloise" and "The Third Factory". "The Zoo, or Letters Without Love, or the Third Héloïse" consists of 34 love letters. It is a highly metaphorical and associative novel, which was written in 1923 when the author was in exile in Berlin. In this novel, the author describes his daily life in exile and his love and longing for the heroine Alia in a letter style. Hidden under these love letters are the author's memories, current reviews, literary theory, lyricism and philosophical thinking. After all, the life in exile was unsatisfactory. Under this situation, the author chose to compromise and returned to Russia with the help of Gorky. After returning to China, he wrote "The Third Factory", which recorded in an autobiographical way the changes in the author's own destiny during the period of revolution, war, and the transition between old and new politics and culture, as well as his vivid memories of his happy childhood, school experiences, early literary groups, and other life and creative situations. "The Blue Notebook" is a collection of short stories by the famous Soviet writer Harms. The novels are mostly short stories with simple structure and concise writing. The author uses his imagination to hide all aspects of the world under the absurd surface in the article. Those bizarre and perverse plots in life are the truest inner reactions of people and the reappearance of people's subconsciousness that has been suppressed for a long time. Harms carefully conceived these absurd works just to wake up confused people and remind them to be alert to the true desolation in their hearts. "Marco Polo" is a historical novel by Shklovsky. Based on Marco Polo's own travel notes and a large number of real historical materials, Shi did his best to develop his literary imagination of the Silk Road. He used Marco Polo's life experience and Silk Road culture as the starting point, and used a combination of documentary and commentary to give a detailed description of Marco Polo's personal experiences and Eastern culture. By telling the encounters and experiences of Marco Polo, his father and uncle during their journey to the East, it not only describes Marco Polo's troubled life, but also reproduces the political and economic development conditions of countries along the Silk Road, especially China and other Eastern countries, reflects the social life and customs of each country, and restores the historical features of the Silk Road to a certain extent. "Autumn's Elegy: Selected Russian Lyrical Poems": Russia is a world-famous poetry country with many master poets. Like China, it is also a country of poetry. This book is an anthology of modern Russian lyric poems, covering famous modern and contemporary Russian poets who have influenced the world, and some of them are even translated for the first time. There is a widely circulated joke in Russia: "In Russia, there are more poets than poets - poets."
