publication of:

LIFE STORIES: Original Fiction By Russian Authors

This is a wonderful new collection of original works by 19 leading
Russian writers. They are life-affirming stories of love, family,
hope, rebirth, mystery and imagination.

A novelist catches up with his future... a president is under house
arrest after setting off a nuclear war... an off-planet skipper leads
a hunt for a mysterious life-giving creature... a single mother
protects her disabled son... a man finds serenity in his vacation-emptied
city... a woman looks for love in silence... a thunderstorm
turns lives upside down... an oligarch makes a unexpected career
change... a detective solves a murder and doesn’t like what he
finds... a family copes with Russia’s medieval future... a traveler
grapples with Pushkin’s killer... a disaffected son mourns his mother...

Masterfully translated by some of the best Russian-English translators
working today, these tales reassert the power of Russian literature to
affect readers of all cultures in profound and lasting ways.

BEST OF ALL, 100% of the profits from the sale of this book will go to
benefit Russian hospice­not-for-profit care for fellow human beings
who are nearing the end of their own life stories.
