{"product_id":"the-enchanted-wanderer-nikolai-leskov-9780307388872","title":"The Enchanted Wanderer: And Other Stories","description":"Nikolai Leskov's writing exploded the conventions of nineteenth-century Russian fiction. Here is the other Russia, mythical and untamed: an uneasy synthesis of Orthodoxy and Old Believers, a land populated by soldiers and monks, serfs and princes, Tartars and gypsies--a vast country brimming with the promise of magic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese seventeen tales, some rooted in the oral tradition, others cast as sophisticated anecdotes, are all told in the voices of storytellers addressing their audience--allowing us, as readers, to join a group of listeners. Innovative in form and rich in wordplay, the narratives unfurl in startlingly modern ways. The great gift of this new translation allows us to hear all the nuances of Leskov's brilliant language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nikolai Leskov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0307388875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307388872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/09\/2014 pg. 28","brand":"Nikolai Leskov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994826703103,"sku":"9780307388872","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6e34516-d5b4-4772-91d8-110b5bc5861a.jpg?v=1683332406","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-enchanted-wanderer-nikolai-leskov-9780307388872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
