The Village of Stepanchikovo and Its Inhabitants, originally conceived as a play and first published in 1859, is a sustained exercise in caricatural cruelty and a comedic tour de force. Written in the style of Gogolian and with a waspish description of the villainous Opiskin, the novel is a sustained exercise in caricatural cruelty and a comedic tour de force. The young Sergei is summoned from St Petersburg by his uncle, the retired colonel Yegor Rostanev, to the remote country estate of Stepanchikovo. Rostanev's household, populated by a medley of remarkable characters, is dominated by the figure of Foma Opiskin, a devious, manipulative hanger-on who has everyone in thrall and plots to marry the colonel to the woman of his choice, Tatyana Ivanova. When Opiskin finds that his plans are being thwarted, a confrontation with Rostanev ensues, and all hell is let loose.
