"In Russia, the history of the intelligentsia is almost the story of the development of literature." Because censorship and autocracy blocked other means, pamphleteering had to be done through fiction and poetry - and the Russian realistic novel took on an increasinly important role in social change. Mr. Reeve begins his study with [Pushkin's] Eugen Onegin and proceeds to Lermontov, Gogol, Goncharov, Turgenev, Leskov, Dostoevsky, through the crucial 19th into the revolutionary 20th century, to conclude his book with Pasternak's Dr. Zhivago. - from the jacket.
