Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The award-winning translators bring us a new translation of an 1870 comic novel by Russia's greatest satirist-whose mockery of Russian autocracy is newly relevant in the age of Putin.A major classic in Russia, though not as well known in the West, Foolsburg- The History of a Certain Town is a farcical chronicle of the fictional town of Glupov (which translates to "Stupidville" or "Foolsburg") and its hapless inhabitants as they passively endure the violence and lunacy of their rulers for hundreds of years. The succession of brutal mayors of the town include such surreal extremes as a man with a music box instead of a brain and one so tall that he snaps in half during a windstorm. Saltykov-Shchedrin marries biting satire reminiscent of Jonathan Swift with the fantastical absurdity of Nikolai Gogol, imbued with his own brand of playful wordplay. A sort of Gulliver's Travels of Russian literature, the novel has never before had a translation into English that successfully captured its zany humour; this one will bring it the attention it deserves. "A new translation of the 1870 Russian satiric classic (previously translated into English as The History of a Certain Town). It takes the form of the fantastical chronical of a fictional town called Glupov (translated here as Foolstown) and its rulers over many generations, satirizing tyranny and its enablers"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. (Schott). Rodion Shchedrin is internationally recognized as the pre-eminent contemporary composer of the Russian modern school. His autobiography looks back over an eventful life and provides a variety of stimulating insights behind the facade of the international music scene. Along the way Shchedrin elaborates highly personal views on the political situation and many other aspects of life in the former Soviet Union, turning an unsparing eye on the machinery of ideological repression exerted on artists as they struggled to interpret and conform to the constantly mutating diktats of the regime. A wealth of anecdotes and humorous observations offer the reader glimpses of the author's essentially sanguine and life-enhancing disposition. Rodion Shchedrin was born in Moscow in 1932. He studied composition and piano at the Moscow Conservatoire and quickly made his way to international recognition in both disciplines. His ballets, symphonic works, piano concertos and chamber music compositions are regularly performed in the leading theatres and concert halls of the world. Rodion Shchedrin and his wife, the prima ballerina Maya Plisetskaya, today make their homes in Moscow and Munich, shuttling between the two although, as Shchedrin prepares to enter his ninth decade of life, his ceaseless travels around the globe show no sign of diminishing. English translation by Anthony Phillips. Rodion Shchedrin gilt als einer der bedeutendsten zeitgenössischen Komponisten der russischen Moderne.

Viele kleine Anekdoten und humorvolle Bemerkungen offenbaren dem Leser darüber hinaus das heitere Naturell und die positive Lebenseinstellung des Autors. Rodion Shchedrin wurde 1932 in Moskau geboren. Er studierte Komposition und Klavier am Moskauer Konservatorium und wurde bald zu einem international gefragten Künstler. SeineBallettkompositionen, aber auch seine Sinfonien, Klavierkonzerte und kammermusikalischen Werke werden auf den großen Bühnen der Welt aufgeführt.
