For as he soon sees, his meek and kind-hearted uncle is wholly dominated by a pretentious and despotic pseudo-intellectual named Opiskin, a charlatan who has ingratiated himself with Yegors mother and now holds the entire household under his thumb. Watching the absurd theatrics of this domestic tyrant over forty-eight explosive hours, Sergey grows increasingly furious - until at last, he feels compelled to act. A compelling comic exploration of petty tyranny, The Village of Stepanchikovo reveals a delight in lifes wild absurdities that rivals even Gogols. It also offers a fascinating insight into the genesis of the characters and situations of many of Dostoyevskys great later novels, including The Idiot, Devils and The Brothers Karamazov.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51289981190432,"sku":"NEW0140446583","price":17.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61GpVn6cjNL.jpg?v=1772551213","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-village-of-stepanchikovo-and-its-inhabitants-from-the-0140446583","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
