About this product

Product Information

A powerful novel from the great Russian satirist: the Golovlev family are ruled by matriarch Arina Petrovna, but her son, Porfiry, plots her downfall. Arina Petrovna rules the Golovlev family with an iron hand. Around her swarm her family; her alcoholic sons, dissipated grandchildren and degenerate husband. But in his darkened study, her son Porfiry schemes for an overthrow of power. In this powerful novel, the great Russian satirist presents a stark portrait of the Russian gentry sapped by generations of idleness and social irrelevance.
