This novel follows the adventures of an Englishman, Paul Manning, working at Moscow University. Manning seems to be missing out on real life in his academic seclusion, but things improve when he gets involved with the Russian girl Raya, and with the seedy entrepreneur, Gordon Proctor-Gould.

Set in Moscow in the political world of intrigue and suspicion of the late 1950s, The Russian Interpreter by Michael Frayn is an international comic drama that brilliantly captures life in the Soviet Union after the Second World War.
Michael Frayn was born in London in 1933 and began his career as a journalist on the Guardian and the Observer. His novels include Towards the End of the Morning, The Trick of It and A Landing on the Sun. Headlong (1999) was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and Spies (2002) won the Whitbread Best Novel Award. His most recent novel, Skios, was longlisted for the Booker Prize. His fifteen plays range from Noises Off to Copenhagen and, most recently, Afterlife. He is married to the writer Claire Tomalin.
