<b>Translated by Michael R. Katz</b>
Vasily Sleptsov was a Russian social activist and writer during the politically charged 1860s, known as the "era of great reforms, " and marked by Alexander II's emancipation of the serfs and the relaxation of censorship. Popular in his day, Sleptsov's contemporaries Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov praised his writing: Chekhov once remarked, "Sleptsov taught me, better than most, to understand the Russian intelligent, and my own self as well."
The novella Hard Times is considered Sleptsov's most important work. It focused popular attention on the radical and liberal movements through its fictional setting, where the characters contend with constantly evolving political and social dilemmas. Hard Times was immediately recognized as a vibrant and compelling depiction of pre-revolutionary Russian intellectual society, full of lively debates about the possibilities of liberal reform or radical revolution that questioned the viability of a political system facing massive social problems.
This is the first English language version of Hard Times, expertly and fluidly translated by Michael Katz. Highly readable, it provides important historical insights on the political and social climate of a volatile and transformative period in Russia history.
