A collection of nine stories by the Russian Nobel Prize winner (1933). The last is followed by the dated May 18, 1944, but this publication would have occurred during WWII, especially given a production quality that includes a worthy cloth binding, good paper, etc. In fact, the book belies the usual shoddy publishing in Russia during all of the 20th century. A handsome book, with the dust jacket now preserved in a removable, clear archival sleeve.

Price: $25.00
