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. Zypkin stumbled upon an old edition in a box of books and rescued the masterpiece from oblivion. The narrator skillfully intertwines his own present, the threatening Soviet reality where books like his cannot exist, with the feverishly pulsating past, where the protagonist travels to Baden-Baden with his young wife Anna Grigorievna, the Eldorado of all gamblers. Zypkin weaves fact with fiction into an intense, passionate ecstasy. For the first time, it includes 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.
