Ein Sommer in Baden-Baden

One of the most beautiful, stimulating, and original literary works of the past century. Leonid Zypkin pays tribute to his literary idol Dostoevsky with this virtuoso novel. Susan Sontag stumbled upon an old edition in a box of books and rescued the masterpiece from oblivion. The narrator virtuously intertwines his own present, the threatening Soviet reality in which books like his cannot exist, with the feverishly pulsating past, where the hero travels with his young wife Anna Grigorievna to Baden-Baden, the Eldorado of all gamblers. Zypkin weaves fact with fiction into an intense, passionate frenzy. For the first time with the author's original photographs. The triumph of a man from the underground. A unique classic that has just been freed from the dungeon of censorship in time. One of the most beautiful discoveries of contemporary literature.
