Two-volume collection of prose writing published in Russia since 1915. Twenty-six selections from twenty different authors, the selections are polished works from Pasternak and Solzhenitsyn and less familiar writers such as Isaac Babel, Alexander Grin, Bulat Okudzhava and other major figures unknown in the West. Two introductory essays by Krystyna Pomorska Professor of Russian Literature at MIT provide biographical information and background for the Soviet experience that repressed and censored writers.
