Excerpt from A Landed Proprietor; The Cossacks; Sevastopol
I feel myself capable of being a good landed propri etor and, in order to be one, as I understand this word, one needs neither a university diploma, nor ranks, which you are so anxious I should obtain. Dear aunty, make no ambitious plans for me! Accustom yourself to the thought that I have chosen an entirely different path, which is, nevertheless, good, and which, I feel, will bring me happiness. I have thought much, very. Much, about my future duty, have written out rules for my actions, and, if God will only grant me life and strength, shall succeed in my undertaking.
Do not show this letter to my brother Vasya. I am afraid of his ridicule; he is in the habit of directing me, and I of submitting to him. Vanya will understand my intention, even though he may not approve of it.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an intriguing and multifaceted account of one landownerâs experiences with his serfs in 1850s Russia. The author, a young man in his early twenties, attempts to transform his estate into a model of enlightened self-sufficiency, where the serfs live with dignity and the land is nurtured. The bookâs chapters are a series of vignettes that vividly illustrate the challenges he faces in this endeavor. The authorâs encounters with individual serfs open up a window into a world of grinding poverty and oppression, from which he learns that true change will not come from lofty ideas but from a profound understanding of their day-to-day realities. This book not only offers a unique insight into the dynamics of serfdom in prerevolutionary Russia, but is also a fascinating study of one manâs idealism versus the harsh realities of the world he sought to change. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780243381050_0
