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 lifting of censorship. Popular in his day, Sleptsov's contemporaries Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov praised his writing:, with Chekhov once remarkeding, "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 prerevolutionary 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.

Delightful Addition to My Bathroom!
Size: 3' (Round), Color: Light Blue, Size: 3' (Round), Color: Light Blue
I absolutely love this bath rug! The color is beautiful, and it is incredibly soft underfoot. What truly sets it apart for me is the round shape—it is such a refreshing and stylish change from the standard square or rectangular mats.
I actually love the look and feel of it so much that I purchased a second one and placed them side by side. It creates a wonderful, unique aesthetic in the room. Highly recommended!

Excellent Rug & Unbeatable Customer Service!
Size: 6 x 8 ft Rectangle, Color: White
I absolutely love this rug! It has completely transformed my living room—it looks surprisingly glam and feels wonderfully soft underfoot.
The feature that really sold me was that it's fully washable. I was nervous about cleaning it, but the process was surprisingly easy. I strongly recommend skipping the dryer and letting it air dry. I simply hung mine over my shower door, and it was completely dry overnight. I used a brush to gently separate the fibers, leaving it looking just as vibrant and feeling just as soft as it did when new.
Additionally, I had an interaction with their customer support team, and they were fantastic. They responded to my inquiry quickly, were respectful, and resolved my issue completely and professionally.
I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a beautiful, practical, and soft rug with stellar customer service backing it up. Five stars!

Soft but no cushion
Size: 2' x 8' (Runner), Color: White
This rug is nice and soft but too thin for me.
It’s very beautiful, it’s soft and fluffy but not enough cushion for my taste
