Petersburg Tales: New Translation

Newly Translated and Annotated / Includes the Diary of a Madman (Alma Classics Evergreens)

Übersetzung: O'Brien, Dora

Beschreibung

Also including the 'Diary of Madman', this new translation of Petersburg Tales paint a critical yet hilarious portrait of a city riddled with pomposity and self-importance, masterfully juxtaposing nineteenth-century realism with madcap surrealism, and combining absurdist farce with biting satire.

Autor
