Dust jacket has unclipped price $16.95 with edge wear and small tears. Spine of the jacket has a one inch closed tear. Zinik is one of the first modern Russian writers to write about Western mores through Soviet eyes. He is uniquely placed to do so. Born in Moscow in 1945, he emigrated in 1975 and settled with his family in London. His five previous novels have been translated and published throughout Euroope This book is the first to appear in English. After a two-year stay in Moscow, Clea, ex-Trotskyite and militant vegetarian, has returned to London with her Russian husband Konstantin only to witness a complete transformation in his personality. In England his eccentricity has taken a U-turn. He is incapable of fitting into any culture, an alien at home and abroad. As the story moves from a gathering of drunken Muscovites to a bizarre mushroom-picking party on an English nuclear base, from the dire everyday existence in a Soviet communal flat to the shocking farce of sex and adultery in an English kitchen. Zinik's work deals with the duplicity of emigre existence in which two worlds, of East and West, of Past and Present, are clashing with each other. In this, Zinik is following the tradition of Conrad and Nabokov, both of whom could be named his predecessors.…

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First American printing [stated]. [8], 267, [5] pages. DJ has some wear and soiling. A few pencil marks and erasures noted. A treasury of 22 novellas, short stories and prose poems by the Russian Nobel Prize winner includes the tales, "Matryona's House" and "An Incident at Krechetovka Station." Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn (11 December 1918 - 3 August 2008) was a Russian novelist. One of the most famous Soviet dissidents, Solzhenitsyn was an outspoken critic of communism and helped to raise global awareness of political repression in the Soviet Union, in particular the Gulag system. While serving as a captain in the Red Army during World War II, Solzhenitsyn was arrested by the SMERSH and sentenced to eight years in the Gulag and then internal exile for criticizing Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in a private letter. As a result of the Khrushchev Thaw, Solzhenitsyn was released and exonerated. He pursued writing novels about repressions in the Soviet Union and his experiences. He published his first novel, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich in 1962, with approval from Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, which was an account of Stalinist repressions. Solzhenitsyn's last work to be published in the Soviet Union was Matryona's Place in 1963. In 1974 Solzhenitsyn lost his Soviet citizenship and was flown to West Germany. In 1976, he moved with his family to the U. S. In 1990 his citizenship was restored. Later he returned to Russia, where he remained until his death. He was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the ethical force with which he has pursued the indispensable traditions of Russian literature". Solzhenitsyn writes in the great Russian tradition of celebrating the calamity of being born a Russian. No literature seems to have more harrowing things to say about its country, yet none turns towards its earth, its history, its people with such compassion or pride. What has happened to him as a prisoner of the state, and as an individual Russian, he makes known, whether as graphic confession or as symbolic melodrama. In these tales and novellas and prose poems his heroes are everyday martyrs who speak of renewal. They ask what a man must do to be saved; they honor human endurance or mourn the loss. It is a subject peculiarly poignant to the Soviet scene where the private life is programmatically uncultivated and the sprawling public replacement seems so often bare, mean, and corrupt. "An Incident at Krechetovka Station" captures the terrors of the war years in the fleeting friendship of a persecuted actor and a young officer forced to give him away. "Matryona's House" depicts the humble life-enriching character of a peasant woman and her disaffiliated intellectual lodger; it has a wondrous melancholy suffused with a festive strain. Irony, of course, is everywhere, but Solzhenitsyn does not have the nervy gloom of his compatriot Amalrik who pictures a future of utter chaos and cultural despair. His new collection, with its stoical, plain, inward beauty, movingly reminds us that Solzhenitsyn seems never to have written a line that was not somehow tinged with hope. …
