Vladimir Nabokov ranked it with James Joyce's \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e, Franz Kafka's \u003ci\u003eMetamorphosis\u003c\/i\u003e, and Marcel Proust's \u003ci\u003eIn Search of Lost Time\u003c\/i\u003e. Few artistic works created before the First World War encapsulate and articulate the sensibility, ideas, phobias, and aspirations of Russian and transnational modernism as comprehensively. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bely expected his audience to participate in unraveling the work's many meanings, narrative strains, and patterns of details. In their essays, the contributors clarify these complexities, summarize the intellectual and artistic contexts that informed \u003ci\u003ePetersburg\u003c\/i\u003e's creation and reception, and review the interpretive possibilities contained in the novel. This volume will aid a broad audience of Anglophone readers in understanding and appreciating \u003ci\u003ePetersburg\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonid Livak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 029931930X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299319304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2019","brand":"Leonid Livak","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013719535871,"sku":"9780299319304","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae7c8afb-78e5-4616-8955-141a41148e76.jpg?v=1767744342","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-readers-guide-to-andrei-leonid-livak-9780299319304","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
