The Golovlyov Family | Michail Evgrafovic Saltykov-Scedrin, Natalie Duddington

1 post | 5 read | 5 to read

Searingly hot in the summer, bitterly cold in the winter, the ancestral estate of the Golovlyov family is the end of the road. There Anna Petrovna rules with an iron hand over her servants and family-until she loses power to the relentless scheming of her hypocritical son Judas. One of the great books of Russian literature, The Golovlyov Family is a vivid picture of a condemned and isolated outpost of civilization that, for contemporary readers, will recall the otherwordly reality of Macondo in Gabriel Garcķa Mįrquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude.

One of the best books I‘ve ever read.

I‘m just a bit at a loss for words to be honest. There‘s no way I could fully discuss this novel without writing a true essay-length-verging-on-dissertation exploration on this story‘s depth and richness, butā€¦ I‘m gobsmacked at the rawness and reality of this novel written in 1870s.

Just breathtaking.
