"The most important, most influential, and most perfectly realized Russian novel written in the 20th century." -  The New York Times  Book Review "This modernist novel, rightly regarded as one of the pinnacles of twentieth-century Russian literature, presents great challenges to the translator. With unswerving loyalty to the original, Elsworth has succeeded in capturing its idiosyncratic rhythms and elusive layers of meaning, producing a masterful translation that reads like a work of art in its own right." -  2012 Rossica Prize Judging Panel "One of the four most important works of twentieth century literature." -  Vladimir Nabokov Informationen zum Autor Andrei Bely (whose real name was Boris Nikolaevich Bugaev), was born in 1880 into a family of illustrious intellectuals. Bely's writing heavily influenced the Russian Symbolist movement and the subsequent Modernist school - his significance in world literature is often compared to that of James Joyce. He died in Moscow in January 1934.
