Аннотация:

One of the greatest literary minds of the twentieth century, Viktor Shklovsky writes the critical Equivalent of what Ross Chambers calls "loiterature"--writing that roams, playfully digresses, moving freely between the literary work and the world. In Energy of Delusion, a masterpiece that Shklovsky worked on over thirty years, he turns his unique critical sensibility to Tolstoy`s life and novels, applying the famous "formalist method" he invented in the 1920s to Tolstoy`s massive body of work, and at the same time taking Tolstoy (as well as Boccaccio, Pushkin, Chekhov, Dostoevsky, and Turgenev) as a springboard to consider the devices of literature--how novels work and what they do. Available in English for the first time, Energy of Delusion provides contemporary readers with a new way of thinking about how great literature is written (andhow great criticism might be) that is as timely today as ever.
