Necropolis (Russian Library) - Khodasevich, Vladislav; Vitali, Sarah (translator)

Very light wear to edges, otherwise fine. 'An unconventional literary memoir by Vladislav Khodasevich, hailed by Vladimir Nabokov as "the greatest Russian poet of our time." In each of the book's nine chapters, Khodasevich memorializes a significant figure of Russia's literary Silver Age -- including Andrei Bely, Alexander Blok, Valery Bryusov, Sergey Esenin, Fyodor Sologub, and the socialist realist Maxim Gorky -- and in the process writes an insightful obituary of the era.
