An unsung gem of nineteenth-century Russian literature, City Folk and Country Folk is a satire of Russia's aristocratic and pseudo-intellectual elites in the 1860s. Sofia Khvoshchinskaya, writing under a male pseudonym, centers her story on a common-sense, hardworking noblewoman and her self-assured daughter living on their small rural estate.
