"Russia's chief poet Alexander Pushkin defines envy as "wingless desire" in his short play "Mozart and Salieri" (1830). Wingless Desire in Modernist Russia examines how the Mozart and Salieri literary archetypes swap roles and how "envier" becomes "envied" in Russian Modernist prose during the New Economic Policy of 1921-1928"-- Provided by publisher.
