Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales of Three Centuries The few explanations which may be of use in this volume will be arranged best, no doubt, in the same sequence as the divisions of the book itself. I may begin, therefore, by stating that the town of Serdobsk can be found on any good map of Russia in the part devoted to the government of Samara, in which is indicated also the river Hopyor, which falls into the Don. Kolchugin´s adventures in the first tale were caused by Suvoroff and the colonel´s wife on the one hand, and by Pan Dubitski and the magician Tvardovski on the other. Whatever the positions may have been which they held during life, the Russian lady who so clung to her husband, whether from fondness or love of rule, and the unwilling host at Byali Folvark are very obscure persons now, and need no comment. With the other two characters the case is far different. Suvoroff´s fame is increasing; even the present year has seen a new and elaborate biography of him by an English officer. Tvardovski, though little known beyond Poland and Russia, will receive justice outside the Slav world whenever his story is fittingly told.
