The Possessed Author: Elif Batuman
Product Details: ISBN: 9781921656644 Format: Paperback Pages: 304 Dims: x Pub Date: 27-04-10 Pub Country: Australia Condition: NEW
Description: The Possessed draws on Elif Batuman's articles in the New Yorker, Harper's Magazine , and n+1 to tell the true story of one woman's intellectual and sentimental education and her many strange encounters with scholars devoted to classic Russian writers. In a series of intertwined essays about her life and other people's lives in the world of Russian literature and scholarship, Batuman has written a funny, smart and self-deprecating book about Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy and Chekhov and the academics who worship them. It is full of stories of ice palaces and giant apes, conference disasters and excursions into Uzbek poetry; but there is also wisdom, and deep appreciation of the great Russian novels. Elif Batuman is a true original.
