Über dieses Buch
Fandango and Other Stories presents a selection of essential short fiction by Alexander Grin, Russia’s counterpart to Robert Louis Stevenson, Edgar Allan Poe, and Alexandre Dumas. Grin’s ingenious plots explore conflicts of the individual and society in a romantic world populated by a cast of eccentric, cosmopolitan characters.
Information zu Autoren / Herausgebern
Alexander Grin, the nom de plume of Alexander Stepanovich Grinevsky (1880–1932), was a leading Russian writer of fantasy and adventure, most famous for the novel Scarlet Sails. His neoromantic fiction won him enduring popularity but eventually ran afoul of the Soviet authorities. Impoverished and increasingly denied the ability to publish, he died of stomach cancer at the age of fifty-one.

Rezensionen
Donald Rayfield, Queen Mary University of London:
Over thirty years have passed since any of Alexander Grin's extraordinary work was offered to the English reader. In these sensitive and accurate new translations, justice is finally done to Grin's unique world, sometimes reminiscent of Robert Louis Stevenson and Kafka, but inimitable in the subtlety that underlies its simplicity.

Boris Dralyuk, executive editor, Los Angeles Review of Books:
Bryan Karetnyk’s sparkling translations bring out both the stylistic intricacy and the psychological depth of Alexander Grin’s tales, calling to mind the “delicate, graceful lacework of fretted leaves” described in “Lanphier Colony.” This expertly edited collection introduces, at long last, the full range of Grin’s gifts to the English-speaking world.
Strange and memorable. Students of modern literature should greet this as if discovering hidden treasure.
