無料で聴く

Step into the tumultuous world of the Golovliovs, a family that embodies dysfunction in the shifting landscape of post-serfdom Russia. As the old social order crumbles, this gentry family finds themselves ill-prepared for the new realities they must face. With personalities as vivid as their nicknames—The Hag, Little Judas, Simple Simon, Pavel the Sneak, the Orphans, the Blood-Sucker—they engage in petty feuds and harbor a deep contempt for the peasants awakening to their newfound freedoms. Saltykov-Shchedrin’s most renowned novel offers a poignant exploration of the plight of women navigating these turbulent times. Meet Anninka and Lubinka, the aristocratic orphans who chase independence in the bohemian life; the matriarch Arina Petrovna, whose fierce management of the estate brings only fleeting stability; and Yevpraksia, the peasant girl ensnared by the vile Porfiry Vladimirych as his mistress. Far from mere social commentary, A Family of Noblemen paints a rich tapestry of complex characters and their intricate lives during a time of profound change.
