Description for Dacha Husband
Paperback. Satirizes a type of man who came to prominence in the later part of the nineteenth century in Russia; he was typically upper middle class, was married to a materialistic woman, and commuted to work in St Petersburg during the summer while his wife and children vacationed at the family's dacha in Pavlovsk. Translator(s): Katz, Michael R. Num Pages: 80 pages. BIC Classification: FC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 197 x 128 x 8. Weight in Grams: 132.
In addition to offering fresh editions of well-known works, ""Northwestern World Classics"" will also reintroduce to a new generation 'lost classics', such as Ivan Shcheglov's 1896 ""The Dacha Husband"" (""Dachnyi muzh"").

In the able hands of Michael Katz, acclaimed translator of Dostoevsky, Turgenev, and Tolstoy, Shcheglov's strikingly modern style and biting satire come alive for today's readers. ""The Dacha Husband"" (a term created by Shcheglov) satirizes a type of man ... Read more
