Vladimir Nabokov: Lectures on Literature -- $tIndex 330 $aIn this book, acclaimed Dostoevsky biographer Joseph Frank explores some of the most important aspects of nineteenth and twentieth century Russian culture, literature, and history. Delving into the distinctions of the Russian novel as well as the conflicts between the religious peasant world and the educated Russian elite, Between Religion and Rationality displays the cogent reflections of one of the most distinguished and versatile critics in the field. Frank's essays provide a discriminating look at four of Dostoevsky's most famous novels, discuss the debate between J. M. Coetzee and Mario Vargas Llosa on the issue of Dostoevsky and evil, and confront Dostoevsky's anti-Semitism. The collection also examines such topics as Orlando Figes's sweeping survey of the history of Russian culture, the life of Pushkin, and Oblomov's influence on Samuel Beckett. Investigating the omnipresent religious theme that runs throughout Russian culture, even in the antireligious Chekhov, Frank argues that no other major European literature was as much preoccupied as the Russian with the tensions between religion and rationality. Between Religion and Rationality highlights this unique quality of Russian literature and culture, offering insights for general readers and experts alike. 606 $aRussian literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aReligion and literature$zRussia 606 $aPhilosophy in literature 607 $aRussia$xIntellectual life$y1801-1917 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRussian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aReligion and literature 615 0$aPhilosophy in literature. 676 $a891.709/003 700 $aFrank$b Joseph$f1918-$0458609 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459191803321 996 $aBetween religion and rationality$92479039 997 $aUNINA
