Crime and Punishment
by Dostoevsky, Fyodor    Pasternak Slater, Nicolas    Young, Sarah J.
(Hardcover - English - 9780198709701)
strong One death, in exchange for thousands of lives - it's simple arithmetic! strong A new translation of Dostoevsky's epic masterpiece, Crime and Punishment (1866). The impoverished student Raskolnikov decides to free himself from debt by killing an old moneylender, an act he sees as elevating himself above conventional morality. Like Napoleon he will assert his will and his crime will be justified by its elimination of vermin for the sake of the greater good. But Raskolnikov is torn apart by fear, guilt, and a growing conscience under the influence of his love for Sonya. Meanwhile the police detective Porfiry is on his trail. It is a powerfully psycholog ..

The Symphonies
by Stone, Jonathan    Bely, Andrei   
(Paperback - English - 9780231199094)
Andrei Bely is best known for the modernist masterwork Petersburg , a paradigmatic example of how modern writers strove to evoke the fragmentation of language, narrative, and consciousness. In the early twentieth century, Bely embarked on his life as an artist with texts he called "symphonies"--works experimenting with genre and sound, written in a style that shifts among prosaic, poetic, and musical. This book presents Bely's four Symphonies --"Dramatic Symphony," "Northern Symphony," "The Return," and "Goblet of Blizzards"--fantastically strange stories that capture the banality of life, the intimacy of love, and the enchantment of art. The Symphonies are qu ..

Countries That Don't Exist: Selected Nonfiction
by Emery, Jacob    Spektor, Alexander   
(Paperback - English - 9780231202374)
Almost unknown during his lifetime, Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky is now hailed as a master of Russian prose. His short stories and novels, unpublishable under Stalinism but rediscovered long after his death, have drawn comparisons to the works of Jorge Luis Borges for their distinctive blend of metafictional play and philosophical thought experiment. Like Borges, Krzhizhanovsky also wrote dazzlingly unconventional essayistic pieces as a slippery extension of his fictional project. Countries That Don't Exist showcases a selection of Krzhizhanovsky's exceptional nonfiction, which spans a dizzying range of genres and voices. Playful fantasies dwelling in the borderla ..

Mondegreen: Songs about Death and Love
by Rafeyenko, Volodymyr    Andryczyk, Mark   
(Hardcover - English - 9780674275577)
A mondegreen is something that is heard improperly by someone who then clings to that misinterpretation as fact. Fittingly, Volodymyr Rafeyenko's novel Mondegreen: Songs about Death and Love explores the ways that memory and language construct our identity, and how we hold on to it no matter what. The novel tells the story of Haba Habinsky, a refugee from Ukraine's Donbas region, who has escaped to the capital city of Kyiv at the onset of the Ukrainian-Russian war. His physical dislocation--and his subsequent willful adoption of the Ukrainian language--place the protagonist in a state of disorientation during which he is forced to challenge his convictions. Wri ..

The Nose and Other Stories
by Gogol, Nikolai    Fusso, Susanne   
(Paperback - English - 9780231190695)
Nikolai Gogol's novel Dead Souls and play The Government Inspector revolutionized Russian literature and continue to entertain generations of readers around the world.

These stories showcase Gogol's vivid, haunting imagination: an encounter with evil in a darkened church, a downtrodden clerk who dreams only of a new overcoat, a nose that falls off a face and reappears around town on its own, outranking its former owner. ..

A Double Life
by Pavlova, Karolina    Heldt, Barbara    Green, Daniel
(Paperback - English - 9780231190794)
An unsung classic of nineteenth-century Russian literature, Karolina Pavlova's A Double Life alternates prose and poetry to offer a wry picture of Russian aristocratic society and vivid dreams of escaping its strictures. Pavlova combines rich narrative prose that details balls, tea parties, and horseback rides with poetic interludes that depict her protagonist's inner world--and biting irony that pervades a seemingly romantic description of a young woman who has everything. A Double Life tells the story of Cecily, who is being trapped into marriage by her well-meaning mother; her best friend, Olga; and Olga's mother, who means to clear the way for a wealthier ..

Between Dog and Wolf
by Sokolov, Sasha    Boguslawski, Alexander   
(Paperback - English - 9780231181471)
Sasha Sokolov is one of few writers to have been praised by Vladimir Nabokov, who called his first novel, A School for Fools , "an enchanting, tragic, and touching book." Sokolov's second novel, Between Dog and Wolf , written in 1980, has long intimidated translators because of its complex puns, rhymes, and neologisms. Language rather than plot motivates the story--the novel is often compared to James Joyce's Finnegans Wake --and time, characters, and death all prove unstable. The one constant is the Russian landscape, where the Volga is a more-crossable River Styx, especially when it freezes in winter. Sokolov's fiction has hugely influenced contemporary Russia ..
