A new translation of the hilarious picaresque about a man with an indomitable spirit<br /> <br /> The Enchanted Wanderer is a Russian Candide with a revolutionary edge, a picaresque that features a fast-talking monk named Ivan who is at war, it seems, with every level of society. Working as a carriage man for a Count, Ivan accidentally causes the death of a monk, which leads to his being ostracized by the local peasantry .?.?. until the dead monk returns as a ghost to guide him through trouble upon trouble.
