Description
In June 1862, Dostoevsky left Petersburg on his first excursion to Western Europe. Ostensibly making the trip to consult Western specialists about his epilepsy, he also wished to see firsthand the source of the Western ideas he believed were corrupting Russia. Over the course of his journey he visited a number of major cities, including Berlin, Paris, London, Florence, Milan, and Vienna. His impressions on what he saw, "Winter Notes on Summer Impressions", were first published in the February 1863 issue of Vremya (Time), the periodical he edited.
About the Author
I was born in 1945, and attended the University of Edinburgh, where I studied Russian with German. After living for some time in the Soviet Union, Denmark, Iceland, and the United States, I eventually settled in the United Kingdom, where I worked for several years as a co-editor and reviewer on the literary magazine Stand. I then moved to London, where I began my career as a literary translator.
I m really a translator more than an author, though I like providing introductions to books of translation - it seems to me that a translator has a unique opportunity to read and understand works of literature from the inside, and it s that process that I try to share with the readers of my introductory essays.
The list of my translations is rather diverse - but roughly speaking it spans two main areas: classic prose fiction (mostly Russian) and twentieth century poetry (mostly Nordic and Russian).
