Description
The Golovlyov Family is a novel about a family who live on an estate in Russia in the 1800s. Anna Petrovna is the ruler of the estate, but her son Judas schemingly takes over. The novel is full of vivid descriptions of the estate and the characters. It is a great book and is reminiscent of One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garca Mquez.
Searingly hot in the summer, bitterly cold in the winter, the ancestral estate of the Golovlyov family is the end of the road. There Anna Petrovna rules with an iron hand over her servants and family-until she loses power to the relentless scheming of her hypocritical son Judas. One of the great books of Russian literature,
The Golovlyov Family is a vivid picture of a condemned and isolated outpost of civilization that, for contemporary readers, will recall the otherwordly reality of Macondo in Gabriel Garca Mrquez's
One Hundred Years of Solitude.
