Sobre este item
E-228: Victor Gollancz Ltd. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1963. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Victor Gollancz, London, 1963. Xxviii, 449 pages, with "3 short novels, 47 short stories and his autobiographical novel Before Sunrise". DJ has shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities (DJ is chipped and worn). Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Typical targets of Zoshchenkos satire are the Soviet bureaucracy, crowded conditions in communal apartments, marital infidelities and the rapid turnover in marriage partners, and "the petty-bourgeois mode of life, with its adulterous episodes, lying, and similar nonsense." His devices are farcical complications, satiric understatement, humorous anachronisms, and an ironic contrast between high-flown sentiments and the down-to-earth reality of mercenary instincts. Zoshchenko's sharp and original satire offers a marvelous window on Russian life in the 20s and 30s. EB; 9.0 X 6.0 X 1.0 inches; 450 pages .
