          Zhenshchiny Lazaria [Women of Lazarus]
              Lazar Lindt, a brilliant scientist and a big child, ‘a lawless comet in a circle of calculating luminaries’, is the center of the infernal personal stories of three extraordinary women. The childless Marusya, the wife of his older friend, will fall in love with a funny young man who appeared on the threshold of her house in 1918, not at all filial love, but it will remain his secret. After the...

                              The play ‘The Days of the Turbins’ is a true pearl of Bulgakov's dramaturgy. In it, the Civil War appears to the reader exactly as it really was: merciless, bloody, fratricidal. And in this chaos of broken lives and ruined hopes, the heroes, frozen in indecision on the threshold of change, seem even more touching. The collection also includes ‘Zoyka's Apartment’, which the author himself called...

                                  Buddenbrooks: The Decline of a Family [Buddenbrooks]
                                      Buddenbrooks, first published in Germany in 1900, when Mann was only twenty-five, has become a classic of modem literature -- the story of four generations of a wealthy bourgeois family in northern Germany. With consummate skill, Mann draws a rounded picture of middle-class life: births and christenings; marriages, divorces, and deaths; successes and failures. These commonplace occurrences,...

                                                  Magic Mountain [Zauberberg]
                                                      With this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Thomas Mann rose to the front ranks of the great modern novelists, winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. The Magic Mountain takes place in an exclusive tuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps–a community devoted to sickness that serves as a fictional microcosm for Europe in the days before the First World War. To this hermetic and...

Kuprišs plays with tension, a building up to climaxes reminiscent of Henry James—but with endings that leave a lingering sense of having missed some important detail, some sinister clue that will reveal all meaning.
