About this book

News of a house sold in Moscow sends Arina Petrovna Golovliov into a fury. Her estate manager has returned from collecting payments from peasant serfs, but the loss of her son's property overwhelms every other concern. Saltykov introduces a Russian household in which accounts, obedience and ownership shape the language of family affection. Arina's skill at enlarging the estate sits beside bitter quarrels with her husband and exacting demands on her children.

The novel's satire works through intimate exchanges as well as the management of land and money. In a later argument, Petenka challenges his father's evasive account of permission, marriage and financial support. Repeated explanations become a means of protecting authority, while distress breaks through the family's formal expressions of care.
