About This Item
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Light wear to the covers. Intro by Alex M. Shane. Illustrated by Yury Annenkov. Zamyatin on Isaac Babel: '[He] remembers that, in addition to eyes, tongue, and the rest, he also has a brain, which many writers today treat as a rudimentary organ—something like an appendix.' On the works of H. G. Wells: 'We find there, side by side, mathematics and myths, physics and fantasy, blueprints and miracles, parody and prophecy, fairy tales and socialism.' And on Chekhov: 'With the skill of an experienced physician who, from the slightest, almost imperceptible symptoms, discovers a mortal disease in the patient, [he] finds banality where at first glance life seems to be serene and happy.' 322 pp. Politics & Philosophy.
