{"product_id":"9781847498915","title":"Parasha and Other Poems by Michael Pursglove","description":"One of   the pillars of nineteenth-century Russian prose fiction alongside towering   figures such as Gogol, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, Ivan Turgenev started his   writing career as a poet, gaining much critical acclaim and renown in that   field. The title piece of this collection, Parasha, which brought the young   author to the attention of the influential critic Vissarion Belinsky and   established his reputation, is a humorous narrative poem in the vein of   Pushkin's Eugene Onegin or Lermontov's Sashka, telling the story of a young   woman's marriage to her dull, unromantic neighbour and the couple's humdrum   and more or less happy life ever after.        Also contained in this volume are four other narrative poems by Turgenev -   Andrei, A Conversation, The Landowner and The Village Priest - all showing   the author's early interest in ordinary stories of Russian life and all   displaying the wit and stylistic versatility that we have come to associate   with his more famous prose works.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308258472309,"sku":"9781847498915","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781847498915.jpg?v=1762806903","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781847498915","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
