Abstract
-
en_US
Here is the original of a book I have in a 1976 reproduction by Greenwood Press. Strangely, that book reports its original as published in 1941, whereas all indications here are that this book was published rather in 1931. As I mention there, there are here twenty-two highly political fables published at various times in Saltykov's life (1826-89). Though talky and longish, they are witty and often devastating. Some verge on Juvenal's satires. The translator's helpful introduction gives the social and political Sitz im Leben. The Carp Who Was an Idealist seems typical. The Very Wise Minnow speaks well of life as risk.
