The Problem of Genre and the Quest for Justice in Chekhov's. The Island of Sakhalin (Hardcover)

DE Juras T. Ryfa. The Edwin Mellen Press Ltd, USA, 1999. Texto en inglés. Ryfa (Russian language and literature, George Washington U.) bypasses the wrangling since the book appeared in 1893 about its genre by arguing that it simply created a new own. He says that Chekhov was familiar with travel literature, but when he set off for a penal colony at the other end of the Russian Empire in 1890, he had already determined to document and expose what he saw as a serious social evil in his country. The tapestry of mini-biographies of individuals and communities, Rufa finds, brought about significant changes in social policy, in sociological analysis, in literature, and in Chekhov. 234 pp. Láminas b/n y color. 23 x 16.
