Synopsis
ANDREY PLATONOV (1899—1951), the son of a metalworker and the eldest of ten children, was born in a village near the Russian town of Voronezh. He began to publish poems and stories in the 1920s and worked as a land reclamation expert in central Russia, where he was a witness to the ravages of the Great Famine. In the 1930s Platonov fell into disfavor with the Soviet government and his writing disappeared from sight. JOHN BERGER is the author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction, including To the Wedding , the Into their Labours trilogy, About Looking, Ways of Seeing, and G ., for which he won the Booker Prize. His most recent book is Hold Everything Dear: Dispatches on Survival and Resistanc e. He lives in a small rural community in France. ROBERT CHANDLER has translated selections of Sappho and Apollinaire and is the editor of Russian Short Stories from Pushkin to Buida . His translations from Russian include Pushkin's Dubrovsky and The Captain's Daughter , Leskov's Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk , Vasily Grossman's Life and Fate and Hamid Ismailo's The Railway . His co-translations of Andrey Platonov have won prizes in the UK and the US. His Alexander Pushkin is published by Hesperus in their series of Brief Lives. He teaches part time at Queen Mary, University of London. ELIZABETH CHANDLER is a co-translator of several volumes of Platonov and of Pushkin's The Captain's Daughter. OLGA MEERSON teaches at Georgetown University and is the author of Dostoevsky's Taboos (in English) and Platonov's Poetic of Re-Familiarization (in Russian ).
