Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Russian Gentleman Serge Aksakoff, the author of this Russian classic, 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. His grandfather had migrated about 1760 from Simbirsk to Ufa, where the population consisted mainly of Tatars and a number of Finnish tribes - Mordvinians, Choovashes, and others. Aksakoff was educated at Kazan, and entered the Civil Service in 1808. After serving in many different capacities - he was censor of the Press at Moscow for some years - he retired in 1839 and devoted himself exclusively to literature. He married in 1816; and his two sons, Constantine and Ivan, both played a conspicuous part in the public life of Russia. He died at Moscow, after a long and painful illness, on April 30, 1859. His high and secure place among Russian writers Aksakoff owes to three works - his Years of Childhood and Recollections, which are autobiography, and his Family History, which is here translated under the title of A Russian Gentleman. This is his most famous work: his portrait of his grandfather is his masterpiece, and his descriptions of his parents´ courtship and marriage are as vivid and minute as his pictures of his own early childhood. He began to write this book soon after his retirement from the public service. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
