Description
90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
‘I decided that my trip had evidently been in vain, since nothing of interest could possibly occur on this visit. I was mistaken.’
Condemned to sleeplessness by the chatter permeating his guesthouse room, a forlorn traveller turns his ear to the riotous tale spun by the garrulous, meddlesome, inane and utterly unprincipled MĂƒÂ¡rya MartĂƒÂ½novna next door. Her exuberant deformations of morality and language scandalized Tsarist society, and she remains one of Russian literature’s most uproarious anti-heroes.
