Bøker av Victor Terras

Presents a survey of Russian literature from its beginnings in the 11th century to modern times. The author argues that Russian literature has reflected, defined and shaped the nation's beliefs and goals. He sets his survey against a background of social, political and religious developments.

The text of The Brothers Karamazov is removed from English-speaking readers not only by time but also by linguistic and cultural boundaries. Victor Terras's companion work offers readers an understanding of the Dostoevsky novel as the expression of a philosophy and a work of art.
