Total Experience32 years
CompanyZENPULSAR
CountryLuxembourg

Alexander Feofilaktovich Pisemskiy (often spelled Aleksey) (1821-1881) was a significant Russian novelist and dramatist, recognized as a key figure in the literary movement of Russian realism. His works are known for their stark, often pessimistic, portrayal of Russian provincial life, the declining gentry, and the emergent capitalist class. Pisemskiy possessed a keen eye for social satire and the darker aspects of human nature, frequently exploring themes of greed, ambition, hypocrisy, and moral compromise. Unlike some of his contemporaries who offered more idealized visions, Pisemskiy's realism was unvarnished and unflinching, sometimes leading to controversy. He was a contemporary of Turgenev, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy, and while perhaps less internationally renowned today, his contribution to Russian literature, particularly his direct style and critical social commentary, remains highly valued.
