Petrov Flu

187K0

As the hearse moves forward, fever lingering in the snowy city, the hungover journey turns Petrov into a metaphor for Russian life: an unloved, feverish, languishing family, a feverish world waiting for a magic pill and a tiny bit of love. In Yekaterinburg in the post-Soviet era, a terrible viral influenza is attacking the Petrov family, and the secrets hidden among family members are gradually coming to light. The novel is set in the post-Soviet period and tells the story of a spiritual epidemic prevalent in society. The male protagonist, who is suspected of contracting the flu, is constantly delayed by a weird uncle and a death-seeking writer on his way home. Under the interaction of aspirin and vodka, his gradually blurred consciousness actually escapes into a comic dream of his own creation. The metaphor of influenza depicts the dilapidated status quo of post-Soviet society, especially the old industrial areas of the "Rust Belt", as an infectious disease that no one can escape. Through a flu, it alludes to the loss and anxiety that permeates ordinary people in Russia. People are torn apart by feelings of helplessness and suppressed dreams. Petrov uses the POV perspective to lead us to walk dangerously between delirium and the edge of reality, nihility and madness, just like wandering in Mayakovsky's "Urban Hell". Faced with a life that he was unable to change, he resisted reality with fantasy and kept his love deep in his memories. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the beliefs of generations were wiped out. During the painful social transformation period, ordinary people fell into the dilemma of value and identity. Everyone paid the price for the shattered dreams, and everyone was looking for the meaning of life again.

"If 'Lolita' is a 'dazzling butterfly', then 'The Prototype of Laura' is the 'chrysalis of genius.'" Nabokov's final manuscript was the last manuscript that Nabokov asked to be burned; the "Prototype of the Novel" reproduces the generation and evolution of inspiration in the master's mind. Vladimir Nabokov was a Russian-American writer who was recognized as an outstanding novelist and stylist in the twentieth century. "Lolita", which he wrote in 1955, received great controversy and honors. "The Prototype of Laura" is Nabokov's unfinished work and the last manuscript in his later years. The novel tells the story of Philip Wilde, an extremely bloated scholar who married Flora, a slender, beautiful but promiscuous ballet dancer. On the one hand, he had to endure his wife's lies and betrayal, and on the other hand, he was addicted to the pleasure of self-destruction. "Laura's Archetype" provides a refreshing and richly detailed description of death and the afterlife, a subject that interested Nabokov since childhood. The publishing process of "Laura's Prototype" was controversial. Nabokov once asked that it be burned, but his son Dmitry finally decided to publish it. "The Original of Laura" is a key to the labyrinth of Nabokov's writing.

In order to stop the absurd behavior of the impostor, Philip set out for Israel. In the process of tracking the impostor, he encountered various people and things, which led to critical thinking about his own superiority and justice.

This book tells the story of the aristocratic young man Nekhludoff who seduced the adopted daughter of his aunt, the peasant girl Katyusha Maslova, causing her to become a prostitute; but when she was falsely accused of murder for money, he attended the court as a jury to try her. This seemingly coincidental event had typical social significance at the time. On the one hand, the novel presents the representative themes of the author's later years - spiritual awakening and running away from home; on the other hand, it mainly uses Nekhlyudov's experience and knowledge to show the dark side of society from cities to rural areas, and makes a profound criticism of the government, courts, prisons, churches, private ownership of land and the capitalist system.
