Vasily Sleptsov was a Russian social activist and writer during the politically charged 1860s, known as the "era of great reforms," and marked by Alexander II's emancipation of the serfs and the relaxation lifting of censorship. Popular in his day, Sleptsov's contemporaries Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov praised his writing:, with Chekhov once remarkeding, "Sleptsov taught me, better than most, to understand the Russian intelligent, and my own self as well."
The novella Hard Times is considered Sleptsov's most important work. It focused popular attention on the radical and liberal movements through its fictional setting, where the characters contend with constantly evolving political and social dilemmas. Hard Times was immediately recognized as a vibrant and compelling depiction of prerevolutionary Russian intellectual society, full of lively debates about the possibilities of liberal reform or radical revolution that questioned the viability of a political system facing massive social problems.
This is the first English-language version of Hard Times, expertly and fluidly translated by Michael Katz. Highly readable, it provides important historical insights on the political and social climate of a volatile and transformative period in Russia history.

Comfortable and Slick
Color: Grey, Size: X-Large
The track suit has been my tai chi workout go to. The fabric is light and non constrictive so I can move effortlessly. The material is soft and feels nice. Does not get too wrinkly when folded. The color is nice. Top fits nicely, true to size (6’ and 190 lbs). The bottoms are a bit baggy though but my bum is flat, so can complain. I think next time I would purchase separate pieces and go with XL top and L bottom. Perhaps mix the colors too so I don’t look like an orderly on break! I will caution on wearing this type of material over spandex or slippery underwear. I was walking my three large dogs and they got tangled and the leash snagged and pulled down my pants exposing my underwear to the world. Luckily, I had clean undies with no rips, although no one was around the trail we were on! This is my first Coofandy purchase and I would definitely purchase again.
