The plot is relatively a simple one: Nikolai Apollonovich is ordered by a group of terrorists to assassinate his father, the prominent senator, Apollon Apollonovich Ableukhov. Nevertheless, Bely's polyphonic, experimental prose invokes such diverse themes as: Greek mythology, the apocalypse, family dynamics, psychology, Russian history, theosophy, revolution, and European literary influences. Considered by Vladimir Nabokov to be one of the twentieth century's four greatest masterpieces, \u003ci\u003ePetersburg\u003c\/i\u003e is the first novel in which the city is the hero. Frequently compared to Joyce's \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e, no novel did more to help launch modernism in turn-of-the century Russia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920658383006,"sku":"ING-9781618115751","price":133.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781618115751.jpg?v=1782827193","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781618115751","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
