{"product_id":"9780231543538","title":"Fourteen Little Red Huts and Other Plays","description":"In this essential collection of Andrei Platonov’s plays, the noted Platonov translator Robert Chandler edits and introduces \u003ci\u003eThe Hurdy-Gurdy\u003c\/i\u003e (translated by Susan Larsen), \u003ci\u003eThe Fourteen Little Red Huts\u003c\/i\u003e (translated by Chandler), and \u003ci\u003eGrandmother’s Little Hut\u003c\/i\u003e (translated by Jesse Irwin). Written in 1930 and 1933, respectively, \u003ci\u003eThe Hurdy-Gurdy \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Fourteen Little Red Huts \u003c\/i\u003econstitute an impassioned and penetrating response to Stalin’s assault on the Soviet peasantry. They reflect the political urgency of Bertolt Brecht and anticipate the tragic farce of Samuel Beckett but play out through dialogue and characterization that is unmistakably Russian. This volume also includes \u003ci\u003eGrandmother’s Little Hut\u003c\/i\u003e, an unfinished play that represents Platonov’s later, gentler work.","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124615364848,"sku":"9780231543538","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780231543538_p0.jpg?v=1763679269","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780231543538","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
