Life Stories by Paul E Richardson
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. These are just some of the stories in this wonderful collection of original works by 19 leading Russian writers. They are life-affirming stories of love, family, hope, rebirth, mystery and imagination. 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 hospice -- not-for-profit care for fellow human beings who are nearing the end of their own life stories.| SKU | Unavailable |
