  • "This is a new translation by Robert & Elizabeth Chandler and Olga Meerson. Platonov's dystopian novel describes the lives of a group of Soviet workers who believe they are laying the foundations for a radiant future. As they work harder and dig deeper, their optimism turns to violence and it becomes clear that what is being dug is not a foundation pit but an immense grave. This new translation, by Robert & Elizabeth Chandler and Olga Meerson, is based on the definitive edition recently published by Pushkin House in Leningrad. All previous translations were done from a seriously bowdlerized text. Robert Chandler is also the translator of Vasily Grossman's "Life and Fate." The American scholar Olga Meerson has written extensively on Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Platonov and many other Russian authors."
  • "A 1930s novel on a disillusioned Russian Communist. He analyzes the manner in which people rationalize their membership in the Communist party, turning a blind eye to its excesses."

  • "Deux textes d'une des grandes figures de la littérature russe contemporaine. Le premier texte a été traduit et publié en France en 1974, sous le titre "La fouille", à partir d'un samizdat publié d'après le texte initial et dans son intégralité. Le deuxième reprend des extraits d'une oeuvre confisquée par le KGB, en 1933, à la suite d'une colère de Staline."
