TRIFONOV, Yuri.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Another Life and The House on the Embankment. First edition in English, the translator Michael Glenny's copy. Glenny's profuse marginalia suggest he wasn't completely satisfied with the job, offering many alternate translations of the text with annotations in English and Russian. His ownership stamp is in blind on the first leaf.Loosely inserted is a contemporary review of this volume in the New Yorker, which describes Trifonov's literary universe as "a dense world of edgily multigenerational families crowded into Moscow apartments, of dachas and seaside vacations as escape hatches into the romantic... with something of Chekhov's tenderness and masterly power of indirect revelation."
