Keys to Happiness PDF
By:Анастасія Вербицкая,Beth Holmgren,Helena Goscilo
Published on 1999 by Indiana University Press
Keys to Happiness, published in 6 volumes between 1908 and 1913, was one of the most sensationally popular and influential Russian novels of the early twentieth century. Against a panorama of Russian society on the eve of World War I, Keys recounts the stormy life of Manya Yeltsova, a Russian Ònew womanÓ who pursues her dreams and passions to fame and notoriety as a dancer a la Isadora Duncan and a free spirit who captivates, among others, a Jewish socialist tycoon and a reactionary Russian nobleman. At the time of its publication, the novel crossed the boundaries of both gender and class to define a new type of literature in Russian society. Keying on the themes of art, love, politics, and personal freedom, it combines high culture with the eraÕs fascination with self-gratification and the pleasures of the flesh. This sparkling abridged translation by Beth Holmgren and Helena Goscilo makes Anastasia VerbitskaiaÕs startling bestseller available in English for the first time. The translation presents approximately a quarter of the novel, concentrating on decisive stages in ManyaÕs personal development. Narrative summaries by the translators bridge omissions in the text. Their informative introduction places the novel within its cultural, political, and social context and makes clear for todayÕs readers its literary and historical importance.
