Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Printed in Great Britain. First edition in English, first printing. The original green boards are in excellent shape, with corners straight and silver titling on the spine bright and clear. The creamy interior is fresh and completely clean. The original unclipped (16s) pictorial dust jacket shows very little wear. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] "A novelist with a seething imagination and a piercing eye, [Valeriy] writes with humour and desperation of the events of his time and the conditions in his country, satirising what he sees as partly the result of local follies and partly as that of the folly of our age." Translators' note: "In the text the name of the principle character in each story is given in English. The hero of 'The Bluebottle' is Ivan Sinebryukhov (Ivan Bluebelly) who changes his name to Yoan Sinemukhov (John Bluefly); that of 'Red and Black' is Korneliy Abrikosov ('Cornelius Apricot'). The title 'Red and Black' is, of course, taken from the novel by Stendhal." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.…

DESCRIPTION - The 'pleasure factory,' a people's resort on the Black Sea devoted to the rest and recreation of Soviet workers, is the setting for Valeriy Tarsis' sharp-eyed view of how people live and love in today's increasingly consumer-oriented Russia, The more-or-less heroine is a luscious fun-loving girl whose rapid progress in the Classless Society leaves the ideals of Marx and Lenin far behind, In the witty and sardonic style that won him so many readers in THE BLUEBOTTLE and WARD 7, Valeriy Tarsis interweaves his very Chekovian characters, their ideas, and the contemporary Soviet scene to produce in THE PLEASURE FACTORY an incisive novel that could portray any place where world-wise bureaucrats oversee a society in which each - man - for - himself provides the motive force. inventory #35862 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket.…
