NEW AND FORTHCOMING FROM THE RUSSIAN LIBRARY
To the Stars and Other Stories
Homeward from Heaven
Translated by Susanne Fusso
Translated by Bryan Karetnyk
Fyodor Sologub
Boris Poplavsky
This book brings together remarkable short stories by the Russian symbolist Fyodor Sologub that explore the lengths to which people will go to transcend the mundane. Renowned as one of late imperial Russia’s finest stylists, Sologub bridges the great nineteenth-century novel and the fin-de-siècle avant-garde.
Homeward from Heaven is Boris Poplavsky’s masterpiece, written just before his life was cut short by a drug overdose at the age of thirtytwo. Set in Paris and on the French Riviera, it recounts the escapades, malaise, and love affairs of a bohemian group of Russian expatriates.

Stravaging “Strange”
Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky
Countries That Don’t Exist
Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky
Selected Nonfiction
Translated by Joanne Turnbull with Nikolai Formozov
Edited by Jacob Emery and Alexander Spektor
This book presents three tales that encapsulate Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky’s gift for creating philosophical, satirical, and lyrical phantasmagorias. It also includes excerpts from his notebooks—aphoristic glimpses of his worldview, moods, humor, and writing methods—and reminiscences of Krzhizhanovsky by his lifelong companion, Anna Bovshek.
Almost unknown during his lifetime, Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky is now hailed as a master of Russian prose. His short stories and novels, unpublishable under Stalinism but rediscovered long after his death, have drawn comparisons to the works of Jorge Luis Borges for their distinctive blend of metafictional play and philosophical thought experiment.
