About the book

Sergei Aksakov's A Russian Gentleman is a memoir of family life among the provincial Russian gentry at the turn of the nineteenth century. Reconstructing the world of his grandparents and parents, Aksakov describes estates, marriages, domestic conflicts, servants, travel and the rhythms of rural life. Rich in character and social observation, the book preserves a detailed portrait of a vanished aristocratic culture before the great changes of nineteenth-century Russia.
