Dust jacket has unclipped price $16.95 with edge wear and small tears. Spine of the jacket has a one inch closed tear. Zinik is one of the first modern Russian writers to write about Western mores through Soviet eyes. He is uniquely placed to do so. Born in Moscow in 1945, he emigrated in 1975 and settled with his family in London. His five previous novels have been translated and published throughout Euroope This book is the first to appear in English. After a two-year stay in Moscow, Clea, ex-Trotskyite and militant vegetarian, has returned to London with her Russian husband Konstantin only to witness a complete transformation in his personality. In England his eccentricity has taken a U-turn. He is incapable of fitting into any culture, an alien at home and abroad. As the story moves from a gathering of drunken Muscovites to a bizarre mushroom-picking party on an English nuclear base, from the dire everyday existence in a Soviet communal flat to the shocking farce of sex and adultery in an English kitchen. Zinik's work deals with the duplicity of emigre existence in which two worlds, of East and West, of Past and Present, are clashing with each other. In this, Zinik is following the tradition of Conrad and Nabokov, both of whom could be named his predecessors.

(Subject: The Russian Imperium and the Civil War) Solzhenitsyn's 'chief artistic design of my life', a novel charting the growing pains of modern Russia. In August, 1914 the Imperial Russian Army, ill-equipped though greatly superior in numbers, in response to the call of its Western Allies, advanced too rapidly into East Prussia and was destroyed by the Germans at Tannenberg. The book opens in the region of Rostov-on-Don, Solzhenitsyn's own birthplace, and moves on to the field of battle. There we become enthrallingly involved in the in every aspect of the tragically muddled Russian military effort.
