Michael Katz has provided us with an elegant, highly readable translation of a work that is an illuminating historical artifact of the Emancipation . . .

Sleptsov's novel, with its love triangle and the questions it poses, very much follows in the tradition of George Sand's Jacques , Herzen's Who Is To Blame? and Chernyshevsky's What Is To Be Done? and was an integral part of the polemics of the 1860s." --Andrew M. Drozd, University of Alabama, If you are convinced that 'leftist' nineteenth-century Russian literature is long-winded and boring, prepare yourself for a big surprise. Hard Times makes for an excellent read and offers a well-informed and realistic picture of life in the Russian countryside after the abolition of serfdom in 1861.

Drozd, University of Alabama, This translation of Sleptsov's 1865 novel is a welcome addition to nineteenth century Russian literature in English. Contrary to what readers might expect of a work by one of the prominent radical voices of the mid-1860s about competing liberal and radical calls for change in post-Emancipation Russia, Hard Times is not only readable but skillfully constructed and at times, indeed, quite beautiful in Katz's rendering. . . .

Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
