“Petersburg” occupies about the same place in Russian -language prose that Joyce “Ulysses” - in the English -speaking and “process” of Kafka - in the German -speaking.
A defiantly classic form hides a striking riot of content: Gogolian motifs mix with references to Dostoevsky, and irony and social satire are adjacent to mysticism. A day and a half from the life of the St. Petersburg dignity Apollo Apollonovich Ableukhov and his son Nikolai become strange, ridiculous and bewitching phantasmagoria, where everything that Petersburg at the beginning of the 20th century lived in a strong cocktail - esotericism and occultism of a diverse lady, rallies and political terrorism, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls Masquerades and even fashion for satanism and suicide
