{"product_id":"9781940220703","title":"Pamyati Feliksa Rozinera","description":"This book is dedicated to the memory of an outstanding Russian writer and poet Felix Roziner whose literary development took place in Soviet Russia during the darkest years of the Soviet totalitarian regime. Roziner's novel \"A Certain Finkelmeyer\" was completed in 1975, but could not be published in his native country. It was passed in typescript through the underground samizdat literary network to the West and published only in 1981 in London, first in Russian language and then translated into English, French and other languages. The novel became a literary sensation and is considered one of the best 20th century depictions of the fate of a talented individual in a totalitarian regime. An American writer Richard Lourie wrote about this novel: \"This book is more than delight to read. It affords us fresh and valuable insights into Soviet life and the making of art\".\u003cp\u003e\"To the Memory of Felix Roziner\" introduces to the reader memories of people who knew Felix Roziner personally as well as essays about his life and literary work. It also includes excerpts from \"Encyclopedia of Soviet Civilization\", a dictionary of Soviet terminology and concepts, the last grandiose undertaking of the writer that was never published. The purpose of this ambitious work was to help future generations make the right historic choices in today's complex and contradictory world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"M-Graphics Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047937491184,"sku":"9781940220703","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781940220703_p0.jpg?v=1763666496","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781940220703","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
