Envy - Yuri Olesha

Detalii:

nA NEW YORK REVIEW BOOKS ORIGINAL nOne of the delights of Russian literature, a tour de force that has been compared to the best of Nabokov and Bulgakov, Yuri Oleshas novella Envy brings together cutting social satire, slapstick humor, and a wild visionary streak. Andrei is a model Soviet citizen, a swaggeringly self-satisfied mogul of the food industry who intends to revolutionize modern life with mass-produced sausage. Nikolai is a loser. Finding him drunk in the gutter, Andrei gives him a bed for the night and a job as a gofer. Nikolai takes what he can, but that doesnt mean hes grateful. Griping, sulking, grovelingly abject, he despises everything Andrei believes in, even if he envies him his every breath. n nProducer and sponger, insider and outcast, master and man fight back and forth in the pages of Oleshas anarchic comedy. It is a contest of wills in which nothing is sure except the incorrigible human heart. n nMarian Schwartzs new English translation of Envy brilliantly captures the energy of Oleshas masterpiece.n
