"In 2001 Makine began secretively publishing as "Gabriel Osmonde", a total of four nov…els over ten years, the last appearing in 2011. It was a French literary mystery and many speculated about who Osmonde might be. Finally in 2011 a scholar noticed Osmonde's book 20,000 femmes dans la vie d'un homme had been inspired by Makine's Dreams of My Russian Summers and Makine confirmed that he was the author. Explaining why he used a pseudonym he said, "I wanted to create someone who lived far from the hurly-burly of the world". [1]" (from Wikipedia) 1st North American Edition; 1st Printing.

As a boy, having acquired familiarity with France and its language from his French-born grandmother (it is not certain whether Makine had a French grandmother; in later interviews, he claimed to have learned French from a friend), he wrote poems in both French and his native Russian. In 1987, he went to France as a member of a teacher's exchange program and decided to stay. He was granted political asylum and was determined to make a living as a writer in French. However, Makine had to present his first manuscripts as translations from Russian to overcome publishers' skepticism that a newly arrived exile could write so fluently in a second language. Makine's novels include "Dreams of My Russian Summers" (1995) which won two top French awards, the Prix Goncourt and the Prix Médicis.

Quarter-bound charcoal grey cloth over silver-grey paper-covered boards, stamped in red foil to spine; red endpapers. Deckled fore-edge. Illustrated dustwrapper printed in red and black (priced $21.95 to front flap…). Translated from the French by Geoffrey Strachan. Originally published by Belfond in 1992 as Confession d'un porte-drapeau déchu. Author's second novel. A poignant evocation of a Soviet childhood in a little dormitory town near Leningrad after the war. A Russian émigré in France since 1987, Makine had to present his first manuscripts as translations from his mother tongue to overcome publishers' scepticism over his near-faultless French as a newly arrived exile. The author grew up bilingual thanks to an elderly French nanny who took care of him since the age of four. Recipient of the Prix Goncourt and the Prix Médicis for Dreams of My Russian Summers (1995), Makine was elected to the Académie française in March 2016, succeeding the late Assia Djebar. "[A] master word-painter. [Confessions of a Fallen Standard-Bearer]. has the panoramic sweep of the great Russian novels of the 19th century." -David Robson, Sunday Telegraph.

Large 8vo. 252pp. Quarter-bound black cloth over red paper-covered boards, lettered in gilt to spine; red endpapers. Translated from the French by Geoffrey Strachan. Originally published in 2000 by Mercure de France as… Requiem pour l'Est. Author's sixth novel. A multi-generational saga spanning eight decades - from the October Revolution of 1917 to the Cold War era and onwards to the fall of Communism - narrated by a nameless, Russian army doctor. A Russian émigré in France since 1987, Makine had to present his first manuscripts as translations from his mother tongue to overcome publishers' scepticism over his near-faultless French as a newly arrived exile. The author grew up bilingual thanks to an elderly French nanny who took care of him since the age of four. Recipient of the Prix Goncourt and the Prix Médicis for Dreams of My Russian Summers (1995), Makine was elected to the Académie française in March 2016, succeeding the late Assia Djebar. "[A] worthy lyrical addition to Makine's Proustian tapestry depicting a vanished country's deeply conflicted past and present." -Kirkus Reviews.
