Часть текста: story, he has, on the other hand, more originality of invention. His observant good sense penetrates to the roots of things, and he possesses a genuine kind of phlegmatic humour which betrays the Oriental element in Slavonic nature. In his birth and all the circumstances of his life Krilof was as Russian as possible: he was essentially national in his ways of thinking, feeling, and writing; and it may be maintained without exaggeration that a foreigner who has carefully studied Krilof’s fables will have a better idea of the Russian national character than if he had read through all the travels and essays that attempt to describe it. Russian children learn Krilof by heart as French ones do La Fontaine, without entering into all the wisdom of his teaching, but in later life they return to him with double profit. Like La Fontaine, but to a still greater degree, Krilof has supplied the public conscience with a number of precepts and adages and sayings which have become proverbial even in the mouth of unlettered peasants; no one is oftener quoted than he, and, like the Bible and Shakespeare in England, those who quote him have often no idea of their obligation — proof positive that his work has been completely absorbed into the national popular life from which it sprung. The present day offers no higher reward to literary ambition than this faint reflection of the past grandeur of epic poetry, which is only great because it is impersonal. ...

Часть текста: d'"Athalie" 2 en question. - Savez-vous qu'elle est bien difficile - surtout pour Athalie? - Je ne sais vraiment ce que je n'aurais pas donne pour pouvoir assister a cette representation au grand salon - est-il vraiment possible que je ne revoio jamais Courtavenel? - Je ne veux pas y croire... Komaroff est un sot - cela ne fait pas l'ombre d'un doute - mais il n'aurait pas ete en etat de vous dire grand-chose sur mon compte - je ne l'ai presque pas vu depuis mon relour on Russie 3 . -- Il est riche a present - ses parents etant morts - mais plus stupide que jamais. Vous devez deja savoir a present que Tambeiiik n'est pas mort, Dieu merci. - On m'ecrit de Petersbourg que l'opera y est detestable 4 . - On pense beaucoup a vous et les c-tes W parlaient beaucoup de vous faire des propositions pour le reste de la saison 5 . --Si vous alliez a Petersbourg - voila qui serait cruel pour moi! - On y monte "Le Prophete" - avec changements - pour Lablache 6 . - Le cholera n'est pas tres violent a Petersbourg - cependant, il fait mine de revenir sur ses pas; nous avons eu quelques cas ici - mais pas un mortel. Je recois l'"Athenaeum" - et je reconnais les articles de Chorley a un certain melange de bon sens, de loyaute et de quaintness un peu recherchee,--qui n'appartient qu'alui. - La seule chose que je puisse lui reprocher,...

Часть текста: былъ въ это время въ Петербурге. Покойный Федоръ Ивановичъ Иноземцевъ еще заранее почти определилъ день кончины Варвары Петровны; почему не прiехалъ Иванъ Сергеевичъ ранее, и былъ ли онъ своевременно извещенъ о близкой кончине матери, не знаю. Прибылъ онъ въ Москву вечеромъ, въ день похоронъ, когда мы уже вернулись съ кладбища Донского монастыря, где погребена Варвара Петровна. Въ теченiе 17 летъ, которыя я провела почти безотлучно при ней, многое пришлось мне видеть и слышать такого, что, какъ близкое бъ нашему общему любимцу Тургеневу, будетъ, надеюсь, не лишено интереса для его почитателей. У меня счастливо сохранились письма Варвары Петровны, писанныя ею мне въ наши редкiя разлуки, письма ея сыновей ко мне и письма близкихъ къ ихъ семейству лицъ. Вся эта переписка и альбомъ съ заметками и обращенiями къ сыновьямъ (все рукою самой В. П.) послужили мне великою помощью при составленiи настоящихъ записокъ и многое освежили въ моей памяти. Полнаго хронологическаго порядка соблюсти я, конечно, не могла: приходилось и забегать впередъ, и возвращаться назадъ, но точности и правдивости разсказа это препятствовать не могло. Въ некоторыхъ отрывочныхъ разсказахъ о Варваре Петровне, попадавшихся мне въ газетахъ и журналахъ...

Часть текста: ancient family of Moscow Boyars of that name), after having, like many other writers suspected of propagating liberal opinions, undergone his time of persecution and of exile under the Emperor Nicholas, acquired a great deal of popularity by the publication, some fifteen years ago, of a series of sketches called Scenes of Provincial Life (Gubernskie Ocherki) , in which he lashed with indomitable vigour the numerous abuses then current under the name of Government and Justice. Saltykoff’s manner as a satirist somewhat resembles that of Juvenal. His laughter is bitter and strident, his raillery not unfrequently insulting. But, as we have already said, his violence often assumes the form of caricature. Now there are two kinds of caricature: that which exaggerates the truth, as with a magnifying glass, but which never entirely alters its nature, and that which more or less consciously deviates from the natural truth and proportion of fact. Saltykoff indulges in the first kind only, the only admissible one. It is the natural consequence of his character: kind and sensitive at bottom, but superficially rude. At the same time he is very delicate in his perceptions, which have something of instinct and divination about them. He has read much, and above all he has seen much. In fact he knows his own country better than any man living. The History of a Town — which is in reality a sort of satirical history of Russian society during the second half of the past and the beginning of the present century, under the form of a burlesque description of the town of Glupoff, and of the governors who successively ruled over it from 1762 to 1826...
