Sleptsov (English spelling) Vasiliy Alekseevich Sleptsov

Japanese: スレプツォフ - すれぷつぉふ（英語表記）Василий　Алексеевич　Слепцов／Vasiliy Alekseevich Sleptsov

1836‐78
Russian author. She dropped out of the Faculty of Medicine at Moscow University and entered the world of theater, but returned to study ethnology and traveled around the country to build the foundations of her literary career. When she made her literary debut in 1860, she was exposed to the ideas of Chernyshevsky, and became involved in the Commune and women's liberation movements. Her most famous work, Hard Times (1865), has the socialist Laznotsintsy as the protagonist. On the other hand, she wrote works such as The Guest, The Cossacks, and Dead Bodies, which were set in the magazine The Modern Man and took a direct look at the lives of the common people, mainly from 1863 to 1866. Rather than romanticizing the negative aspects of the people, she vividly portrayed their "bitter reality" in a comical style, which influenced later realism.

1836‐78
ロシアの作家。モスクワ大学医学部を中退して演劇の世界に入ったが，再び復学して今度は民族学を学び，全国を放浪して文学生活の基盤を培った。文壇にデビューした1860年ころにチェルヌイシェフスキーの思想に触れ，コミューン運動や婦人解放運動に従事，代表作の《困難な時代》(1865)では社会主義的なラズノチンツィを主人公とした。他方，雑誌《現代人》を舞台に，《泊り客》《コサック》《死んだ肉体》などの民衆生活を直視した作品を，主として1863‐66年ころに書き，人民の否定的側面を美化せずに，その〈苦い現実〉をコミカルな筆致に載せてあえて活写し，後のリアリズムに影響を与えた。
