Life Its Nature, Origin And Development by A. I. Oparin

Posted on November 25, 2023 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Life Its Nature, Origin And Development by A. I. Oparin.

About the book

This book is a natural extension of the work in the field of the problem of the origin of life which I have been carrying on for many years. Until quite recently this problem and the problem of the essential nature of life were regarded as two independent problems. The first was almost entirely ignored by scientific research workers, while the concept of the essential nature of life was treated purely metaphysically, completely divorced from its origin. Nowadays scientists are coming to realise more and more that these two problems are really one, that the nature of life and its origin and development can only be studied in the light of their indissoluble association. This book is an attempt to approach the problem of the essential nature of life from such an angle. I wish to express my deep gratitude to Candidate N. S. Gel’man for the help she has given me in my work on this book.

About the book

Mirgorod is a small town situated on the River Khorol. It has a rope-yard, a brick-yard, four water- and 45 windmills.
Mirgorod (Russian: «Миргород») is a collection of short stories written by Nikolai Gogol, composed between 1832-1834 and first published in 1835.It was significantly revised and expanded by Gogol for an 1842 edition of his complete works.The title Mirgorod is the Russian pronunciation of the name of the Ukrainian city Myrhorod and means “city of peace” in both languages. It is also the setting for the final story in the collection, “The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich”. The title reflects the stories’ portrayal of provincial Ukrainian life, similar to Gogol’s successful previous collection, Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka. To solidify this connection between the two works, he attached the subtitle: “Stories which are a continuation of the Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka.
