Часть текста: a 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. Mr. Ralston’s translation leaves nothing to desire in the matter of accuracy or colouring, and the fables which he has added are not amongst the least welcome. The short preface and memoir prefixed to the volume, and the historical and literary notes on some of the fables, have been done conscientiously and con amore. It will not be his fault if Krilof does not prove to...

Часть текста: je ne vais pas à Spasskoïé! Je n'aurais pu le faire que dans quinze jours - d'ici là les chemins sont impraticables - et je ne veux pas rester si longtemps en Russie; - et puis j'ai enfin reèu des lettres raisonnables de mon oncle: il se résigne à céder les rênes du pouvoir. Mon intendant me fait savoir aussi qu'il commence à devenir le maître: il paraît qu'il a trouvé un chaos indicible. Ma présence n'aurait pas servi à grand'-chose. Mon oncle voudrait me revoir - et je ne demanderais pas mieux que de lui procurer cette satisfaction - mais c'est impossible. Je lui écris chaque jour des lettres fort longues - et j'espère qu'il s'en contentera 1 . Je vois bien qu'il y aura fort à faire pour remettre la barque à flot - mon oncle l'a laissé terriblement ensablée... les deux premières années je serai obligé de tirer la Muse par l'oreille - puisque la littératare donne encore. - Je crois que j'ai mis - dans mon intendant - la main sur un homme énergique et sensé 2 . Ainsi - voici mon plan - si rien ne vient se mettre en travers: je reste ici jusqu'à lundi 8 avril. J'achève mes épreuves, je prends sous le bras 10 exemplaires, je palpe l'argent de Katkoff 3 , je fais deux lectures publiques - il m'a été impossible de m'y soustraire - samedi pour les Ruthéniens de la...

Часть текста: (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...
