The Twelve Chairs

Moscow to the End of the Line
AuthorVenedikt Erofeev
ISBN0810112000
Maybe the best book about Brezhnev's Russia imaginable. If you are the kind of person who has ever got drunk with friends, stormed a police station and then declared war on Norway then you will find much here that is familiar.

It's a book rich in allusion starting from the title (Moscow to Petushki)...
The Foundation Pit
AuthorAndrei Platonov

Tintin in the Land of the Soviets
AuthorHergé
ISBN0867199032
In his debut adventure, Tintin is pursued by Bolshevik agents trying to prevent him from exposing the new Soviet regime.

Marcovaldo
AuthorItalo Calvino
ISBN0156572044

Calvino has been on my radar for a long time, and I think I made a good choice in picking Marcovaldo for a first try. This is a small book, but it has a big heart. The stories are set in the poverty ridden early 1950's and follow up to the relative abundance of the 1960's. The immediate connections that spring...
Тёмные аллеи
AuthorIvan Bunin
ISBN5352002373
Когда-то давно, ещё в школе, наша заботливая учительница литературы выбрала на свой вкус пару рассказов Бунина, и я точно помню, что они были из сборника...
The Compromise
AuthorSergei Dovlatov
ISBN0897333535
A very different read than my usual book. This is a collection of newspaper articles written in Estonia during the late 1970s, each followed by a longer description, often satirical (intended? or otherwise) which provides the true background of the articles. Through this the reader sees a sample of...
سطرها در تاریکی جا عوض می‌کنند

ISBN9641910176

پاییز در ایوان خانه نشسته بود
و من به پرندگانی پیر فکر می کردم

از مرگ دورشان نخواهد کرد
به این که
تنها چند پله ایم
در...
