Über den Autor

Sologub was a member of the symbolist movement, particularly in its early decadent phase. A schoolteacher and school official for many years, he began to publish in the 1890s. His first novel was Bad Dreams (1896), a depiction of a hero struggling against provincial surroundings. He attracted wide mehr anzeigen attention with his second novel, The Petty Demon (1907), in which another provincial town, brilliantly satirized, is the background for the brutish Peredonov's descent into paranoia. This novel, standing at the transition from realist to modernist fiction, has been widely translated and was for a long time the only Sologub work available to Soviet readers. The trilogy The Created Legend (1907--13) is an ambitious attempt to lay out in narrative form Sologub's highly integrated, quasi-mythological worldview: very controversial, it was not judged successful. Sologub also won recognition as a major Silver Age lyric poet, with verse notable for its economy and lyricism. Like much of his prose, it reflects Sologub's pessimistic, dualistic philosophy, which inverts traditional symbols of good and evil. However---moving in its simplicity, power, and authenticity---it is far more successful. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

Rezensionen

Encore un petit livre des éditions Tendance Négative, qui aime à mettre en scène ses textes et qui trouve avec ce choix un terrain de jeu parfait. Ici, un homme de petite taille se sent humilié par la taille impressionnante de sa femme. Voulant remédier à la situation, comme on pouvait s’y attendre, il ne fait que l’empirer.
Voici donc une belle satire du culte de l’apparence et du qu’en-dira-t-on, à laquelle s’ajoute une belle pique lancée à la course au profit. Ce n’est pas un livre optimiste, aucun des protagonistes n’est véritablement sympathique, mais c’est une petite nouvelle qui se lit avec plaisir, et la mise en page originale des éditions Tendance Négative, dont c’est la deuxième création que je lis, rend la lecture ludique, sans masquer le côté grinçant du texte.… (mehr)

Its not your typical classic Russian Novel. And it most certainly is NOT Dostoevsky but that's okay. "The Petty Demon" is an entertaining and revealing romp through the realities of rural Russian life at the beginning of the 20th century. Sologub mixes humor, sensuality, and horror in what one reviewer called "the high water mark of Russian Decadent prose".

Thanks to numerous edits, censoring, and translations, the text can be a bit choppy at times but the fascinating description of the main character's mental decline keeps the reader engaged.

If you're up for a well-written, none-too-serious, and entertaining read, this is a book for you. Not to mention, you will learn about "nedotykomka".

Very enjoyable tale of provincial madness, marred only by a too-rigid adherence to Gogol's 'character goes around to visit other characters, hilarity ensues' mode. And that passes soon enough.

Sottoscrivo il commento di Razgul. Non avrei potuto aggiungere nulla. Se non che sarò eternamente grato a chi me lo ha fatto scoprire ;-)
