His largely forgotten life and work are vividly recreated in \u003cem\u003eKüchlya \u003c\/em\u003e(1925), a pioneering historical novel by the eminent literary scholar and Formalist theorist Yuri Tynianov. Writing at a time when Stalin was tightening his grip on Soviet culture and society, Tynyanov implicitly brings together the disquieting experiences of the 1820s and the 1920s. In a lively, innovative style, his gripping and moving narrative, here translated for the first time, evokes the childhood, youth, beliefs and often absurd adventures of a Quixotic, idealistic protagonist against the richly complex backdrop of post-Napoleonic Russian society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cherry Orchard Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644696859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340","brand":"Yuri Tynianov","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41071817425077,"sku":"9781644696859","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a688920d-2e8d-47fe-9d3f-0b4df99ebc51.jpg?v=1632233089","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kchlya-decembrist-poet-a-novel-9781644696859","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
