Kuchlya

The poet Wilhelm Küchelbecker, Pushkin's school-friend, suffered twenty years of imprisonment and Siberian exile for his part in the ill-fated Decembrist rising of 1825 against the Russian autocracy. His largely forgotten life and work are vividly recreated in Küchlya (1925), a pioneering historical novel by Yury Tynyanov.

Poetul Wilhelm Kuchelbecker, prietenul de scoala al lui Puskin, a suferit douazeci de ani de inchisoare si exil siberian pentru rolul sau la nefasta rascoala decembrista din 1825 impotriva autocratiei ruse. Viata si opera sa, in mare masura uitate, sunt recreate in mod viu in Kuchlya (1925), un roman istoric de pionierat al lui Yury Tynyanov.
