MacAndrew. 585 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Keith Godard. keywords: Literature Russia Translated 19th Century. FROM THE PUBLISHER - The author's original choice for the title was Disorder,' and the book, the story of a. nineteen-year-old searching for identity amidst the disorder of Russian society in the 1870s. The young hero/narrator, Arkady Dolgoruky, is himself a living symbol of the spiritual crisis of his time. The illegitimate child of a landowner strongly inspired by the- social utopianism of the 1840s and a young serf, the wife of the gardener on the estate, the boy has ties to both the old Russia of his mother and foster father and the shifting new ideas represented by his father, Yet he has no real roots in Russian, society, based as it is on the family. Separated from both his parents in infancy and educated at a good preparatory school, he refuses, upon graduation, to go to the university and comes to St. Petersburg, seeking his father and, more importantly, himself, There he falls in with various groups of young people, including the nihilists; with members of the old aristocracy, notably the old and young Princes Sokolsky, both in their own ways alienated from their time; and develops a highly ambivalent relationship with his father, one of the most powerful, interesting and complex characters in the book, and, like Arkady, certainly at least partially a self-portrait of the author. There is an extraordinary timeliness today to Arkady's search, which this new translation underlines. inventory #31767 ISBN: 0385025203.
