Igor Sukhikh: Russian Literature for Everyone. From "The Tale of Igor's Campaign" to Lermontov. Essential Reading!
Igor Nikolaevich Sukhikh is a distinguished literary scholar, Doctor of Philology, and professor at St. Petersburg University. He is the author of numerous works on 19th and 20th-century Russian literature, including acclaimed studies on Chekhov, Dovlatov, and the widely used textbooks for schools.
This three-volume set, "Russian Literature for Everyone" (first published in 2013), serves as a comprehensive guide to the national literary canon, covering works from "The Tale of Igor's Campaign" to late 20th-century authors. This fourth edition has been expanded with new chapters on folklore, the tales of the Time of Troubles, and writers such as Kantemir, Radishchev, and Leskov. Sections on Saltykov-Shchedrin and Gorky have been broadened, and a major new segment on "The Language of Russian Writers" has been added.
Sukhikh’s work proves that philology is not a dull science but an engaging and insightful exploration. This book is designed for the widest readership, offering a serious yet captivating discussion of Russian literary classics. It remains a rare and enduring resource that does not grow outdated over time.
