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.

Such an ENJOYMENT to read!
Format: Imitation Leather
I have been so ENJOYING reading this Bible! Being in my early 50s & having read many, many translations with bible concordances, this newer translation has given me a new spark to reading the Word of God & my time with Him. The Bible itself is so beautiful. I'm very appreciative of the large print. I put off purchasing this Bible due to the cost- as if you can put a cost on God, pfft- but I'm SO GLAD I came to my senses & did. I can't wait for the rest of the Bible to be written in this translation so I can read the whole thing in the Passion translation. It's so beautiful!
