Ivan Krylov — Superstar. The Phenomenon of the Russian Fabulist
29.99 €

What is the phenomenon of Ivan Krylov? How was his cult formed during his lifetime and after his death, and why is he still the same “grandfather” today as he was a century and a half ago? How did he achieve such status, popularity, and commercial success of his fables? Why was he the first Russian poet to have a monument erected in the capital?

In search of answers to these questions, the authors of the book significantly expand the range of sources (including archival and visual) and critically rethink Krylov’s already known literary connections. This allows E. Lyamina and N. Samover to analyze the facts of his biography in the broad social, cultural, and ideological context of the era, reconstruct the poet’s commercial, literary, and behavioral strategies, and trace the process of forming his public image and literary reputation.
