Сигизмунд Кржижановский Like a character in one of his stories, Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky has returned from oblivion. Prominent in Moscow literary circles in the 1920s and '30s, he was all but unpublished. The day he died, a critic mourned the passing of "a writer-visionary, an unsung genius." Who was Krzhizhanovsky? An otherworldly man of enormous erudition, a brilliant voice incapable of accommodating the coarse commissars of Soviet culture: "I am interested, not in the arithmetic, but in the algebra of life." Not until 1989 could Krzhizhanovsky's philosophical, satirical, lyrical phantasmagorias begin to be published. Critics today compare him to Beckett and Borges, Swift and Gogol. His fictions, including the seven remarkable stories in this collection, the first in English, have changed the face of 20th century Russian letters.

252 рубContemporary Russian Fiction: A Short List
The living voices of eleven leading Russian authors: Boris Akunin, Evgeny Grishkovets, Eduard Limonov, Yuri Mamleev, Viktor Pelevin, Ludmila Petrushevskaya, Nina Sadur, Mikhail Shishkin, Vladimir Sorokin, Tatyana Tolstaya, and Ludmila Ulitskaya. The writers interviewed for this book represent various tendencies and age groups, reflecting the diversity of themes and styles in Russian literature. The book also touches on the question of how literature is reacting to the rising neo-conservatism and political pressure in Russian society and culture. None of the authors were acknowledged in the Soviet Union and were carried into Russian literature on the waves of the perestroika. While Limonov and Mamleyev were known abroad even back in Soviet times, the others were published in English translation only in the 1990s. They are all hugely known in Russia. Формат: 12,5 см x 20 см.

170 рубDim аnd Distant Days
Larissa Miller In "Dim and Distant Days", Miller looks back over nearly five decades of Soviet history to her hungry but happy childhood in post-war Moscow; her coming of age as a Jewish girl in an anti-Semitic regime; her early loves and her student days; her encounters with the KGB as an English interpreter in the 1960s and again in the 1980s as the wife of human rights activist Boris Altschuler. Miller's striking personality shines through her narrative. She radiates kindness and wisdom, seemingly fragile and vulnerable she is able to resist all ideological influences, remaining completely independent-minded and vibrantly alive.

372 рубHurramabad
Andrei Volos The 1998 winner of the Anti-Booker Prize, "Hurramabad" describes the bloody national strife and the eviction of Russians from Tajikistan following the collapse of the USSR. The title is the name of the mythical city of joy and happiness where there is always an abundance of fresh water and shade. When civil war erupts in Tajikistan, many Russians are reluctant to leave at first. But life there becomes unbearable for "foreigners", replaced by atrocity and death. This shifting world is the setting of Volos's powerful novel. He masterfully creates vivid pictures from street scenes, snatches of conversations at the bazaar, comments by wise old men and life stories of simple people, both Russians and Tajiks. "Volos narrows the perspective of his narrative to the emotional experience of a few eye-witnesses and so creates an extraordinarily vivid and multifaceted atmosphere. This is the city of "Hurramabad" shimmering in the heat, the hurly-burly of the bazaars, in little side...

170 рубLiving a Life
Valery Ronshin Born in 1962, Valery Ronshin graduated with a degree in history from Petrozavodsk University in Karelia and went on to study at the Literature Institute in Moscow. He now lives in St Petersburg. He started writing relatively late but broke into top literary magazines almost immediately. Ronshin says that for the first thirty years he was "just living a life", moving from one provincial town to another and traveling on foot in Central Russia. He worked at different menial jobs and taught history for a spell before becoming a professional writer. As such, his greatest debt is to Daniil Kharms, the acknowledged Russian master of the absurd. Like Kharms, Ronshin is also a successful children's author with more than 20 books to his name. Unlike Kharms, he wrote the first detective novel for Russian young adults. Ronshin, whose children's stories appeal to grown-ups as well, considers that "a writer's job is to describe his age and die".

458 рубThe Face-Maker and the Muse
Leonid Latynin In a city where it always rains some people have names while others have only numbers. By means of plastic surgery all are made alike, both outwardly and inwardly. Once they commit an error they are punished with Departure. "The Face-Maker and the Muse" is an anti-utopia about the society where work is a giant machinery mutilating human beings, where everybody desperately tries to climb the social ladder, but the success depends on the degree of the person's likeness to the Model Face, created by the Great Face-Maker. From time to time the Model is changed, overturning the entire social structure. Written in 1977-78 the novel predicted as it were the Gorbachev era and the subsequent social turmoil. In a way it is a philosophical enquiry into the mental anguish of a spiritually aware person in an alien society.

564 рубThe Lair
Leonid Latynin Leonid Latynin was born in a small town on the Volga and raised by his old grandmother on old religious books and Russian folklore. Since childhood he has been fascinated with pre-Christian Russian culture, which found expression in his highly original novels. Latynin was trained as a philologist and has become an expert in pre-Christian Russian culture and Russian icons. Both of these interests are apparent in his fiction. The work of Leonid Latynin can hardly be classed with any existing literary trends or movements. Asked in an interview whether he had been associated with the literary underground back in Soviet times Latynin said that he existed on its margins, living alone like a hermit. He has several collections of poetry to his name, the novel "The Face-maker and the Muse", and the novel "The Russian Truth" in four books. "Sleeper at Harvest Time" (Book One of the tetralogy) was published in French by Flammarion, and in English by Zephyr Press. ...

Alexander Selin Selin's stories resemble videoclips in form and are just as visual, sparkling with maxims, aphoristic comparisons and witticisms. They are usually based on some fantastic plot involving fantastic metamorphoses happening to his characters and conveying Selin's wonder at life's inscrutable mysteries and inimitable beauty.

Nikolai Klimontovich The appeal of this book is not only in its infectious eroticism, its wit and humor but mainly in its masterful portrayal of Soviet Russia in the 1970s and 80s through a multitude of cleverly observed details. Although "The Road to Rome" is actually a collection of reminiscences about real events it is structured as a plot-driven narrative and was in fact nominated for the Booker Prize in 1995 as a novel.

Борис Слуцкий Boris Slutsky has now emerged as one of Russia's great twentieth-century poets. Unlike his contemporary Solzhenitsyn, this once ardent Stalinist remained inside the Soviet literary establishment, and kept his unacceptable work to himself. His best poetry and prose were published only after his death. In "Things That Happened" the innermost thoughts of this clear-eyed tragedian are revealed as he enthused during the dynamism and terror of the 1930s, fought heroically in Russia, Romania, and Yugoslavia during the Second World War, and then became an increasingly sceptical witness to the de-stalinizations and re-stalinizations that preceded the terminal senility of the Soviet system under Brezhnev. Gerald Smith, Professor of Russian in the University of Oxford, supplies a detailed running commentary to a testament that appears for the first time here in English.
