This book, first published in 1944, is a comprehensive survey of
post-revolutionary Russian literature up to the early 1940s. A huge
range of writers are examined, and the analysis is made in the
knowledge of the sometimes considerable pressure brought by the
Government on writers in Soviet Russia. Links are made by the
author between the writers being assessed, as well as to the
Russian writers that had come before them. As a wide-ranging
analysis of Soviet literature, this book has rarely been bettered.

Anton Chekhov has long been regarded as the master of the Russian
short story and one of the leading exponents of the genre in world
literature. This volume comprises the classic selection edited by
Birkett and Struve, in Russian, here furnished with a new
bibliography, and complements the stories and plays by Chekhov
already available in the BCP Russian Texts series. The twelve
stories, which date from 1883 to 1896, range from miniatures of
comic levity such as Tolsttyi i tonkii to stories of sophisticated
maturity such as Dom s mezoninom. The stories included are as
follows (titles given in English translation): Fat Man and Thin
Man; The Boys; A Test for Rank; A Failure; A Little Joke; The Blank
Catch; The Beauties; The Student; At Yuletide; An Incident in
Practice; Anna Round the Neck; The House with the Mezzanine.
Ivan Bunin was the first Russian writer of the twentieth century to
be award the Nobel Prize in literature. Like many other Russian
writers, he emigrated after the Revolution and never returned to
his homeland; "The Life of Arseniev" is the major work of his
emigre period.
In ways similar to Nabokov's "Speak, Memory, " Bunin's novel
powerfully evokes the atmosphere of Russia in the decades before
the Revolution and illuminates those Russian literary and cultural
traditions eradicated in the Soviet era. This first full
English-language edition updates earlier translations, taking as
its source the version Bunin revised in 1952, and including an
introduction and annotations by Andrew Baruch Wachtel.
