520    Thirty-year-old Piotr Alekseevich Marakulin lives a 
       contented, if humdrum life as a financial clerk in a 
       Petersburg trading company. He is jolted out of his daily 
       routine when, quite unexpectedly, he is accused of 
       embezzlement and loses his job. This change of status 
       brings him into contact with a number of women -- the 
       titular zsisters of the crossy -- whose sufferings will 
       lead him to question the ultimate meaning of the 
       universe.The first English translation of this remarkable 
       1910 novel by Alexei Remizov, an influential member of the
       Russian Symbolist movement, Sisters of the Cross is a 
       masterpiece of early modernist fiction. In the tradition 
       of Gogol's Petersburg Tales and Dostoevsky's Crime and 
       Punishment, it deploys densely packed psychological prose 
       and fluctuating narrative perspective to tell the story of
       a zpoor clerky who rebels against the suffering and 
       humiliation afflicting both his own life and the lives of 
       the remarkable women whom he encounters in the tenement 
       building where he lives in Petersburg. The novel reaches 
       its haunting climax at the beginning of the Whitsuntide 
       festival, when Marakulin thinks he glimpses the coming of 
       salvation both for himself and for the zfalleny actress 
       Verochka, the unacknowledged love of his life, in one of 
       the most powerfully drawn scenes in Symbolist literature. 
       Remizov is best known as a writer of short stories and 
       fairy tales, but this early novel, masterfully translated 
       by Roger Keys and Brian Murphy, is perhaps his most 
       significant work of sustained artistic prose.
