Description
From the upheaval of revolution and civil war to the hard-won reinvention of life abroad, these Russian émigré short stories trace what it means to flee, remember, and start again. This landmark anthology gathers celebrated voices alongside newly introduced writers—ranging from the luminous artistry of Ivan Bunin and Vladimir Nabokov to figures such as “the Russian Proust” Yuri Felzen, the witty brilliance of Nadezhda Teffi, and Georgy Ivanov’s haunting poetic prose. Across Paris, Berlin, and beyond, the stories illuminate displacement, nostalgia, cultural rupture, and the fragile hope of new beginnings. With Bryan Karetnyk’s discerning curation and an emphasis on rediscovered literary treasures, the collection reshapes how English-language readers understand twentieth-century Russian writing in exile.
