Around the Alcove (Taran) — a unique work of literary fiction by Irina Tchaikovskaya, an author known for both her prose and scholarly articles on Turgenev, Nekrasov, and Panaeva. In this book, she blends rigorous research with imaginative storytelling. Drawing on extensive documentary materials, contemporary notes, correspondence, and memoirs, Tchaikovskaya delves into the complex relationships of her characters. Where factual records end, she follows her intuition and the “hints” found in her subjects’ own creative works and memories.
The result is a vivid, engaging narrative that brings to life iconic figures such as Alexander and Natalya Pushkin, Alexander and Natalya Herzen, alongside Turgenev, Nekrasov, and Panaeva. The author’s deep affection for her characters shines through every page. Written in a lively, accessible style, Around the Alcove is intended for a broad readership — from literature enthusiasts to anyone curious about the personal dramas behind Russia’s literary giants.
