Turgenev wrote Mumu with such vivid images and reflectionsof the state of the tsarist Russia that this piece together with hisother stories was credited with having influenced public opinionin favour of the abolition of serfdom in 1861. Turgenev was the firstof the great Russian novelists to win fame abroad. One of his greatadmirers was Henry James, who wrote that 'Turgenev’s merit ofform is of the first order'The story featured in this release is relatively unknown inEnglish speaking markets despite being a school texbook classicback in Russia. This revised edition of Mumu was first publishedin London in English in as audio book in 2010. The audio bookproduced very strong response from listeners. 'A story great inemotion and meaning that makes you want to read his otherbooks. What a successful introduction to a great writer', wrotePhilippe Felsenhardt (USA) in his review. 'This edition has whetmy appetite for Turgenev on the page', wrote another reviewerJoseph Belliveau (Canada). Other reviewers wrote that the storybrought them close to tears and that they would very much enjoyreading it in paper format. So the paper edition of this story withannotations in both original Russian and English languages ishereby produced to satisfy demand of enthusiastic readers. Itis remarkable how new media such as audio book extends lifeof original paper book. New does not have to mean the end oftraditional, at least for now.
