Description

The novels of Gaito Gazdanov, previously little known in Russia, are key works about the first wave of Russian emigration. They particularly stand out for their specific narrative style: the experience of an attentive observer who does not hide reality, but instead reveals its different aspects. Critic Anatoly Naiman noted the “painfully alluring, fossilized preservation of culture brought along with him” in Gazdanov’s works. The collection includes the novels “Night Roads,” “The Return of Buddha,” and the novella “The Great Musician.”
