A Family of Noblemen is a sweeping saga of Russian provincial life in the 19th century, penned by the renowned satirist Mikhail Evgrafovich Saltykov. This classic novel chronicles the rise and fall of the Golovlyov family, a once-noble line consumed by greed, hypocrisy, and moral decay. Through vivid characters and biting social commentary, Saltykov exposes the dark underbelly of the Russian aristocracy and the corrosive effects of serfdom.
Avrahm Yarmolinsky's translation brings this important work of Russian literature to English readers, allowing them to experience Saltykov's sharp wit and profound insights into the human condition. A Family of Noblemen remains a powerful and relevant exploration of family dynamics, social injustice, and the enduring consequences of unchecked ambition.
