Top 10 books about the Russian Revolution. The book is both a testament to the popularity of the revolution and the hard necessities imposed on Red Petrograd confronted with the White.
David wrote: 'Lolita isn't really Russian if it was first written in English.right?I guess it qualifies because Nabokov was Russian, but I'm still hesitant to call it 'Russian'.' You're right at large, David - originally it was written in English, BUT 'Lolita' can be treated as 'Russian' not because Nabokov was Russian, but because he, Nabokov 'translated' himself the novel into Russian. In the case when a writer 'transalates' his own book into his own native language it's safe to say the book was written twice in 2 languages.
We read this 'translation' here.(by the way 'Lolita' was THE ONLY English novel of him which he 'translated' into Russian himself. It shall be clear that he couldn't have any hope whatsoever at his time that this book will ever be published in his homeland).

Good point, currently reading war and peace and think it is quite strange there is so much talking in French seeing a.' Well, I once wrote a piece for the NYT Book Review (tho' not printed, the editor complimented-they'd published my guest Safire, linked on my website, -lower L): I compared Russia's independence from France-the lang of their aristocracy-with the US independence from England, the language of ours! I argued that 19C Russian and American novels have more in common-vast country, religious wanderers, individuality-than American and English (always about social position and class). You must recall that Russia depended on France for so much-their ballet (Bolshoi still tops), their language of aristocrats and government service, etc. But their lit was largely independent of France. Pushkin, closer to Byron than the Fr masters.

Russian Hill Bookstore, established in 1974, is one of the last independently-owned used and new bookstores in San Francisco. We began as Sunset Bookstore in 1974, a small used bookshop servicing the Sunset District west of 19th Avenue, and have been in continual operation for the past 43 years. Over the years Sunset Bookstore has since closed and merged with Russian Hill Bookstore, which has grown to become also the best note card shop in the city, and a favorite place for toys and games for children of all ages.
