This collection serves as a valuable introduction to the author's greatest stories. The acclaimed translation by Vera T. Reck and Michael Green makes Pilnyak's prose accessible to contemporary audiences while maintaining his evocative voice. Pilnyak's strongest suit is his love and understanding of Russia -- historical, elemental Russia, the land of the peasants, the forests and steppes . . . The translations by Vera T. Reck and Michael Green are excellent . . . * The New York Times Book Review *
