Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, 74, 96 pp. A reprint of two complementary works. From the introduction to the volme by Line: "This bibliography is an attempt at a complete list of translations from Russian literature into English in book form up to and including 1900. (The years after 1900 are already catered for to some extent by A. Eltling…er & J. M. Gladstone's Russian literature, theatre, and art: a bibliography of works in English published 1900-1945 (London, 1945) and Unesco's Index Translationum). It does not attempt to cover translations in periodicals, nor early translations from non-literary works such as Lomonosov's Chronological abridgment of the Russian history (London, 1767) or Tatishchev's Testament (Paris, 1860); non-literary works by writers who are also literary figures, such as Tolstoi, are however included. There are also a few books which, though not wholly or primarily devoted to translations from Russian, contain substantial translations. All known editions of a translation are included. There are 426 items in all, of which 271 are main entries. Forty-eight authors are represented, and 131 translators are involved.".

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. [6], 367, [5] pages. Signed by the author on the title page. DJ has slight wear and soiling/sticker residue on front. Amy M. Homes (pen name A. M. Homes; born December 18, 1961) is an American writer best known for her controversial novels and unusual short…stories, which feature extreme situations and characters. Her novel The End of Alice is about a convicted child molester and murderer. Homes, who was adopted at birth, met her biological parents for the first time when she was 31, and published a memoir, The Mistress's Daughter about her exploration of her expanded "family". Her novel May We Be Forgiven was published by Viking Books in 2012; its first chapter was published in the 100th issue of Granta (in 2008), and was selected by Salman Rushdie for The Best American Short Stories 2008. The novel won the Women's Prize for Fiction in 2013. Her newest novel, The Unfolding, was published by Viking on September 6, 2022. Homes published the first chapter of her 1999 novel Music for Torching as a short story in The New Yorker. The novel features characters who appeared in the short stories of The Safety of Objects. It features a suburban couple who deliberately burn their house down. Jill Adams in The Barcelona Review described it as having Homes' "trademark style of wry humor applied to the uncanny dissection of suburbia's facade." The Observer found it "immensely disturbing". People magazine called the novel "haunting,", Gary Krist in The New York Times stated "I found myself rapt from beginning to end, fascinated by Homes's single-minded talent for provocation." In Music for Torching, the controversial author of The End of Alice lays bare the foundations of marriage and family life at the end of the century. Flash-frozen in the anxious culture of a suburban subdivision, Paul and Elaine (the couple first featured in Homes's collection of stories The Safety of Objects) have two boys and a beautiful home, yet they find themselves thoroughly inexplicably stuck. Obsessed with "making things good again," they spin the quiet terrors of family life into fantastical frenzy that careens out of control, doing and saying all the things we dare not, throwing into full relief the chasm between our public and private selves. From a strange and hilarious encounter on the floor of the pantry with a Stepford-wife neighbor, to an ill-conceived plan for a tattoo, to a sexy town cop who shows up at every inopportune moment, to house cleaning team in space suits, to a mistress calling on the cell phone, to a hostage situation at the school, Homes creates characters so outrageously flawed and deeply human that they are entirely believable. With Music For Torching, A.M. Homes brings her unnerving emotional intensity to the heart of America, creating a new and dangerous territory that is distinctly her own. Derived from a Kirkus review: Paul and Elaine Weiss have a very bad ten days in this newest by Homes, who takes her penchant for extreme situations and behavior to the suburbs. It begins as a typical Westchester County weekend: a dinner party followed by a barbecue at which everyone drinks too much and reveals their boredom and unhappinessâ"except that the Weisses top their neighbors in acting out. Elaine cuts Paul's neck with a knife on Friday; he has phone sex with their divorced buddy Henry's new girlfriend on Saturday; and they join forces on Sunday to set fire to their house, then head for a motel with their sons, sullen teen Daniel and asthmatic nine-year-old Sammy. Homes flings us into the middle of her protagonists" messed-up lives, yet for a long time keeps her readers emotionally distant from them. Whether detailing a lesbian encounter on a washing machine or genital tattooing, the narration doesn't bat an eye or hazard an explanation. This trendy flat affect consorts oddly but aptly with the author's rather generic satire of suburban society: though the time is clearly the present, the wives obsess about laundry and meals while the hus.
