    Definitely a strange book. At first glance a Laurence Stern ramble full of digressions. But the book was written, rewritten and revised many times over many years. If it is a ramble it is a very deliberate one. A very conscious adoption of a specific style carried through with great imagination and persistence. A drift from figurative to impressionism tending towards abstract in literature rather than art. Thanks to the extensive footnotes a realisation that there is much, much more to this than a casual reading gives.

    Interesting take on the city in 1905 Russia. Like a travelogue.

    First, what Petersburgs is not. A beach read. There is nothing simple about Petersburg. Even the plot, which on the surface seems simple, is just a framework on which hangs the complex experiences of its characters. I came to this work knowing nothing of Bely or the Symbolist movement of which he was a part. The work's introduction was of great help but didn't begin to unravel the depth of the work. It became obvious the work was a masterpiece but also one that deserved serious and in-depth attention. I felt the work would make an excellent focus for Masters or Doctoral study. The author uses unique literary techniques to reveal multiple facets of both characters and setting. Reality is not so much broken apart as it is opened up to view what's inside. I felt somwhat like a tourist observing and appreciating a wonderful scene but not taking the time to explore the depths of what I see. Probably would have been better to have read at a younger age when time didn't seem like such a precious commodity. The work deserves serious attention.

    I’ll generally give any novel or collection of short stories fifty pages before I give up. In the case of Boris Nikolaevich Bugayev’s (nom de plume: Andrey Biely) St. Petersburg, I gave it two hundred — and then abandoned ship. I just didn’t get it.

    Both John Cournos, who wrote the Introduction and did the Russian – English translation, and George Reavey, who provided a Foreword, may rightly feel that Biely was an unrecognized genius. I don’t dispute that. I just don’t get him.

    It could well have to do with my immediate reading environment: almost exclusively in the NYC subway system. But I do much of my reading on the subway – and do it to a good end. Unfortunately, this was not the case with St. Petersburg. I found the plot line every bit as noisy and chaotic as the subway system itself.

    Far be it from me to dissuade anyone with a serious interest in Russian literature from undertaking a read of St. Petersburg and correcting, for him- or herself (and for any other potentially interested reader here at Goodreads) my negative verdict. I’d prefer to think I just don’t have the right stuff for Biely.

    "Time sharpens its teeth for everything-it devours body and soul and stone."

    This is no ordinary book, and it was a mistake to think I could read it like one.

    It is fantastically dense, with layers upon layers of symbolism, history - a very Russian book. Which is appropriate, as it deals with the Russian idea of identity. The unusual style and use of symbols is very off-putting, but you become accustomed to it, if not totally comprehending. I will have to return to this book in the future. It deserves as much.

    "Not so loud, Nikolai Apollonovich - not so loud: people might hear us here!""They won't understand anything: it's quite impossible to understand..."These sorts of modernist novels aren't really my cup of tea, I read them for the sake of it, and Petersburg didn't really do anything to change my mind about such books. There are the surreal elements, the various allusions throughout, and the often incoherent mumblings of the characters that at times makes this hard work to get through. At other times there's a haunting beauty to the novel and some quite touching passages; it's just shame they're a slim section of the story.Historically important, sure. A pleasant read? That's another thing. But, to be fair, when contemplating whether to read a novel that is called a precursor to Ulysses you ought to know what you're letting yourself in for.

    Nabokov called it one of the best books of the 20th century. It's good, but really. The city and history are the real characters of this symbolist novel. It doesn't drag like a lot of Russian literature. I went and looked at photos of St. Petersburg and its monuments when I first started reading; if you haven't been to that city, it helps.

    There are two translations of this available and the one published by Grove is shite, so caveat lecter.

    Petersburg is a novel of impressions rather than events. Using brilliant colors but indistinct outlines and shifting realities, Andrei Bely depicts a Russian nation on the verge of collapse. The unforgettable setting is St. Petersburg, the capital of Czarist Russia, in October 1905. Russia's military defeat by Japan earlier in the year has set off a wave of political paranoia, intellectual disquiet, and social unrest. Caught up in this are a father and son, Apollon and Nikolai Ableukhov. The father is a high government official, passionless and inflexible. The son is a student of philosophy, his father's antithesis in every respect.Among Nikolai's many dilettantish involvements is his connection to an unnamed revolutionary "Party." As the novel begins, this is the furthest thing from his mind as he is madly in love with Sofia Petrovna, an officer's wife. Then, out of nowhere, comes an emissary from the Party with a mysterious package and orders which Nikolai must not fail to carry out... orders to assassinate his own father!Bely writes with the fervid intensity of Dostoevsky, but from the philosophical perspective of fellow modernists such as James Joyce. Petersburg has, in fact, been compared with Ulysses for the way in which a city becomes the central character in the novel. But Bely's novel is vastly more readable. It is a shame that it wasn't discovered by the English-speaking world until long after the author's death.It is important to note that there are two versions of the novel. Bely was, for some reason, unhappy with the original version published in 1914, so in 1922 he shortened it drastically. This shortened version was the one first translated into English by John Cournos. I read it several years ago, and found it to be disjointed and difficult to follow. Subsequent translators have returned to the original 1914 edition. The most recent such translation is by John Elsworth from Pushkin Press, and is the one am reviewing. It is an enormous improvement over Cournos's version, crafted in beautiful but intense prose, and well worth the time spent on the additional 200 pages.
