Chtenia 35: Gypsies (Chtenia: Readings from Russia)

By: Bayer, Alexei

Book Overview

In Russian literature, Gypsies are a symbol, an ideal, an unattainable dream rather than an actual people. Freedom, unbound passion and rejection of authority are a dangerous business, and in Russian literature they invariably prove fatal.This incredible volume brings together over a dozen short stories, poems, memoirs and essays that provide invaluable perspective and understanding of the Gypsy motif and experience as expressed in Russian literature.
