THE DOUBLE Fyodor Dostoevsky At once a comic masterpiece and a penetrating examination of a mental breakdown, The Double portrays Golyadkin, a petty government official convinced that his "double"—a man who looks just like him, works in his office, and bears the same name, but is otherwise superior to him in every aspect—is ruining his life. With keen psychological insight far ahead of its time, leading to wide misinterpretation among critics upon its first publication in 1846, Dostoevsky’s second novel is now recognized as one his most important works and one that inspired nearly hundreds of imitations. 0-88233-757-2 P 5.5x8.5 $13.95
A CAPTIVE SPIRIT Marina Tsvetaeva A Captive Spirit shows Marina Tsvetaeva's genius at the peak of its power. "The Russianness of Tsvetaeva's poetry and prose-singularly direct and forceful are they are—consists in an obvious authenticity of the emotions. Everything is felt instantly and strongly; everything is strashny and vesely—terrible and joyful—and yet about this directness there is nothing histrionic, sloppy, or self-indulgent." —JOHN BAYLEY, The New York Review of Books 0-88233-353-4 P 5.75x8.75 $21.95
POEM OF THE END Marina Tsvetaeva 0-887501-119- C 5x8.5 $17.95
ENVY Yury Olesha Critics as far apart as Gleb Struve ("One of the most interesting and original works in the whole of Soviet literature") and Pravda ("Olesha's style is masterful, his psychological analysis infinitely subtle, his portrayal of negative characters truly striking") have praised the novel, and one of the signs of its universality is the fact that it has been claimed by nearly every school of critics and interpreted as everything from a submerged homosexual story to a 10th century Notes from the Underground. 0-88233-091-8 P 5.5 x 8.5 $13.95
Critical Prose and Letters Osip Mandelstam Osip Mandelstam (1891-1938), along with Anna Akhmatova, Boris Pasternak, and Marina Tsvetaeva, was one of the greatest poets of the Soviet period. He was also a brilliant essayist who took the destruction of his culture as one of his main subjects. This comprehensive volume contains most of Mandelstam’s essays, reviews, memoirs, reportage, sketches, polemics, forewords, fragments, and notes—and the major long prose works of the 1930’s, including: "Fourth Prose," "Journey to Armenia," and "Conversations about Dante." 0-88233-164-7 5.75x8.75 $24.95
SELECTED POEMS Anna Akhmatova The poems collected, including the masterworks "Requiem" and "Poem without a Hero," conjure intimations of the infinite and profound emotional depth through meditations on the perception of everyday objects and evocative settings, forming a powerful record of spiritual resilience. 0-88233-180-9 C $24.95
