Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Years of Childhood Serge Aksakoff, the author of this autobiography, was born at Ufa, in the district of Orenburg, on September 20, 1791. His father held some office in the law-court of the town, and his grandfather lived in the country as the owner of large estates, to which Aksakoff ultimately succeeded. The Russians were then only settlers in the country, and the population consisted mainly of Tatars and a number of Finnish tribes often mentioned in this book. Aksakoff´s childhood is here described down to the winter of 1799, when he went to school at Kazan. From school he proceeded to the university of the same city, and left it in 1807, when many of his class-mates were joining the Army to fight against Napoleon. He entered the civil service in 1808 and served, with some intervals, in various capacities until he finally retired in 1839. He married in 1816; and his two sons, Constantine and Ivan, both played a conspicuous part in the public life of Russia. He remained during his whole life a passionate lover of the country and of all country occupations and amusements. He died at Moscow, after a long and painful illness, on April 30, 1859. Aksakoff was always keenly interested in literature and wrote a number of books; but his reputation, which stands very high in Russia, depends mainly upon two volumes of Memoirs which he wrote at the end of his life. The first of these he called A Family History, and the second, which is here translated, Years of Childhood.
