Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev, Hugh Aplin (Translator), Simon Callow (Foreword by)
In this rediscovered literary gem, Turgenev explores the elusive nature of love, suggesting that with the loss of love comes a sense of resignation--and the conviction that the essence of life lies in self-denial.

The Double: A St Petersburg Poem
more books like this
by
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Hugh Aplin (Translator), Jeremy Dyson (Foreword by)
"The Double" is a remarkable work of doppelganger literature. As Dostoevsky examines the neurosis and paranoia that cripple a seemingly ordinary man, he produces a thoroughly modern nightmare, brilliantly foreshadowing the works of Kafka and Sartre. Mr. Golyadkin, a minor government official, is a rather middling man. Then one day he meets his ...

Mikhail Kuzmin, Hugh Aplin (Translator)
A key text in the history of gay literature, "Wings" was published in 1906 to the scandalized reaction of contemporary society and the generations which followed.
