«Since 2002, readers all over the world have been enjoying and learning from Michele A. Berdy's column «The Word's Worth» in The Moscow limes. In this quirky, opinionated, sometimes hilarious yet always thoughtful and authoritative guide, Berdy looks at Russia's changing culture, social scene and everyday life through language and the art of translation. She discusses colloquialisms and youth slang, the language of politics, the workplace, and the often comical struggle of expats to feel at home in a foreign idiom and culture. The Russian Word's Worth is essential reading for students and teachers of Russian, translators, Russia-watchers, expats, and anyone who wants to understand Russia today.»

In the title novella the hero, after a marital infidelity, takes his family to Paris hoping to win his beautiful wife's forgiveness.»

Things That Happened
|
Glas New Russian Writing
|
Автор: Slutsky Boris
Издательство: Glas New Russian Writing, 1999
|
PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ
|
«Boris Slutsky has now emerged as one of Russia's great twentieth-century poets. Unlike his contemporary Solzhenitsyn, this once ardent Stalinist remained inside the Soviet literary establishment, and kept his unacceptable work to himself. His best poetry and prose were published only after his death. In «Things That Happened» the innermost thoughts of this clear-eyed tragedian are revealed as he enthused during the dynamism and terror of the 1930's, fought heroically in Russia, Romania, and Yugoslavia during the Second World War, and then became an increasingly sceptical witness to the de-stalinizations and re-stalinizations that preceded the terminal senility of the Soviet system under Brezhnev. Gerald Smith, Professor of Russian in the University of Oxford, supplies a detailed running commentary to a testament that appears for the first time here in English.»

|
PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ
|
Rubinstein succeeds in arranging his fragmented text in such a clever way that they invariably trigger off a series of associations, even in the reader who fails to catch all the allusions weaved in by the author. Thus his texts begin to speak to any reader anywhere and in any language, but they speak in a different way.

«Galina's ingenuity in weaving together numerous mythological allusions and literary parallels is astounding. Apart from the Hellenic, Jewish and Arabic myths, she introduces references to popular legends and modern superstitions.»—The Moscow Times Iramifications has all the cheeky comedy of Ilf and Petrov with a touch of Gogolian barminess.»

Glas New Russian Writing
|
Автор: Perova Natasha
Издательство: Glas New Russian Writing, 2008
|
PDF, 264 страницы, 7.92 МБ
|
Russia is a country rich in talent which as often gone unrecognized or been actively suppressed and its literary achievements have frequently been inaccessible to non-Russians. GLAS has been designed to bridge the cultural gap between East and West by providing translations which allow the best modern Russian writing to speak directly to the Western reader. The sources at our disposal are vast new works by young talents and established writers, works well-known to the readers of samizdat but now freely available for the first time, works that have never been offered for publication before, works that have emerged from decades of imposed obscurity... The Russians write a lot. And they read a lot. In these turbulent times the Russian literature scene is changing rapidly, and every new contribution is avidly consumed. Our intention is to involve readers in this fascinating process. GLAS is produced through the efforts of a team of experienced writers, critics, editors and translators. Our greatest hope is that you will enjoy it.

Soviet Grotesque, vol: 2
|
Glas New Russian Writing
|
Автор: Perova Natasha
Издательство: Glas New Russian Writing, 2008
|
PDF, 256 страниц, 7.68 МБ
|
This issue of Glas has a subtitle Soviet Grotesque and our subsequent numbers will follow a similar pattern, dealing with such themes as The Woman's View and The Jews in Russia. We hope this approach will increase our reader's enjoyment by offering them an integrated reading experience which gives us a clear insight into some aspect of life in Russia. The sense of the grotesque has a long and distinctive history in Russian literature. It can be argued that the Soviet period has provided particularly fertile ground for its development--many Russians would certainly think so. Grotesque literature has flourished here--without official acknowledgement or encouragement, of course--but only now can it be openly published and freely read. The pieces offered here clearly demonstrate the grotesque's ability to manifest itself in an unlimited range of style and form--the following pages offer lapidary jargon sketches, urbane self-referential prose, frantic stream of consciousness, surreal naturalistic detail and realistic narrative with lyrical interludes. In every case we feel the writer has something to say to the Western reader.

Love and Fear: vol. 4
|
Glas New Russian Writing
|
Автор: Perova Natasha
Издательство: Glas New Russian Writing, 2008
|
PDF, 240 страниц, 7.20 МБ
|
Just as love is very much part of any human life, for the soviet citizen it was often accompanied by another powerful emotion--fear. For various reasons, as this collection shows, the two have always gone hand in hand in Russia. Here love is seen from various angles: the imprisonment of the first Soviet president's wife under Stalin (Razgon), homosexual love punishable by Soviet law (Kharitonov), unrequited love driving man to disaster (Makanin), adolescent longing for love and fear of rejection (Gareyev), an old granny's love for the shopping bag which is her provider (Gorenstein), love as adventure and misunderstanding (Zinik), anti-love among the dregs of society (Miloslavsky), trans-sexuals' surreal experiences (Pelevin), and love in that typically Soviet institution, the communal flat. Each person models his or her own world to live in, alone with oneself. Only writing gives us the chance to discover these innumerable unique worlds-from cancer wards to prison camps, those hells on Earth to which we are drawn by a strange fascination. Literature has been written for centuries, yet each generation's authors still manage to find new angles of vision and new literary idioms. This has been aptly demonstrated by the recent awarding of the first Russian Booker Prize. Two short listed authors-Makanin and Gorenstein-have been included in this issue, while Vladimir Sorokin, another short listed author, was published in the second issue of Glas. The closing interview with Alla Latynina, the first chairman of the Russian Booker Prize jury, gives a reflection into Russia's literary scene today. Despite Russia's present problems, the literary process continues.
