The Satyr and the Nymph, or the Adventures of Trifon Ivanovich and Akulina Stepanovna
9.99 €
A chronicler of Russia's life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, satirist Nikolai Aleksandrovich Leykin, as always, accurately captures the images of his compatriots of the most diverse classes and characters that he has seen in life. In this novel, which is funny in some ways and sad in others, the most diverse types of characters are wittily played out. The lonely elderly merchant Trifon Ivanovich Zakolov is filled with warm feelings for his cook Akulina. The modest and quiet woman is truly transformed under the influence of her new status in the house, and the dynamics between the "satyr" and the "nymph" change dramatically. A friend-maid gives Akulina useful advice, from her point of view, and a relative from the village asks for a lucrative position, and it is far from immediately clear what the chain of events that began with simple sympathy will lead to.
