A Novel","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe poet Wilhelm Küchelbecker, Pushkin's school-friend, suffered twenty years of imprisonment and Siberian exile for his part in the ill-fated Decembrist rising of 1825 against the Russian autocracy. His largely forgotten life and work are vividly recreated in \u003cem\u003eKüchlya \u003c\/em\u003e(1925), a pioneering historical novel by the eminent literary scholar and Formalist theorist Yury Tynyanov. Writing at a time when Stalin was tightening his grip on Soviet culture and society, Tynyanov implicitly brings together the disquieting experiences of the 1820s and the 1920s. In a lively, innovative style, his gripping and moving narrative, here translated for the first time, evokes the childhood, youth, beliefs and often absurd adventures of a Quixotic, idealistic protagonist against the richly complex backdrop of post-Napoleonic Russian society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Characters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eKüchlya: Decembrist Poet: A Novel\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWillie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bechelkückeriad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEurope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaucasus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSons of the Fatherland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecember\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter's Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEscape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFortress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome Poems by Wilhelm Küchelbecker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEndnotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Academic Studies Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041917862231,"sku":"9781644696859","price":17.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781644696859.jpg?v=1750952203","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/kuchlya-decembrist-poet-a-novel-9781644696859","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
