The book prize is awarded annually by the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aatseel.org\/\">American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages<\/a>\u00a0(AATSEEL). Parth\u00e9 will collect her award on January 10, 2014, during the AATSEEL conference held in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This highly-esteemed award demonstrates the significance of Kathleen&#8217;s translation and its excellence,&#8221; said Susan Gustafson, Karl F. and Bertha A. Fuchs Professor of German Studies and chair of modern languages and cultures. &#8220;The AATSEEL award is an admirable and inspiring achievement of which the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures is truly proud.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>A Herzen Reader<\/i>\u00a0features one hundred essays and editorials by Russian radical thinker Alexander Herzen (1812\u20131870) that were previously unavailable in English. Herzen, a leader of the Russian intelligentsia in the 1840s, founded an uncensored liberal press while living in exile in London during the 1850s and early 1860s. Two journals,\u00a0<i>The Polar Star<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>The Bell<\/i>, were published at the press for the purpose of exposing Russian political corruption.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I kept coming across characterizations of Alexander Herzen as one of Russia&#8217;s most dangerous pre-revolutionary writers\u2014absolutely fearless, and very imaginative in finding ways to get the truth back to a Russian audience from his self-imposed exile in Europe,&#8221; said Parth\u00e9. &#8220;I was intrigued by the fact that his most provocative political essays, read by everyone from radical activists to the imperial family, had never been translated into English.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>A Herzen Reader<\/i>, published on the bicentennial of Herzen&#8217;s birth, is currently on display in the newly-renovated Herzen House Museum in Moscow. In October, the book received a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-tls.co.uk\/tls\/public\/article1327520.ece\">glowing review in the\u00a0<i>Times Literary Supplement<\/i><\/a>, the leading international forum for literary culture.<\/p>\n<p>Parth\u00e9 is also the author of\u00a0<i>Russia&#8217;s Dangerous Texts<\/i>\u00a0(Yale, 2004),\u00a0<i>The Search for a New Russian Identity<\/i>\u00a0(The Library of Congress, 2003), and\u00a0<i>Russian Village Prose<\/i>\u00a0(Princeton, 1992; Russian edition, 2004). Currently, she is working on translating and annotating Herzen&#8217;s personal correspondence and collaborating with Oxford University scholar Robert Harris to publish a new, one-volume translation of Herzen&#8217;s memoir\u2014the first in 90 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathleen Parth\u00e9&#8217;s book <em>A Herzen Reader<\/em> features one hundred essays and
