Gazdanov Gaito Orden de los libros
Gaito Gazdanov, escritor ruso exiliado de origen osético, es célebre por sus intrincadas tramas criminales y su profunda perspicacia psicológica. Sus obras equilibran magistralmente el cinismo y la desesperación con una valiente aceptación de la vida y una inherente alegría de vivir. Habiendo iniciado su carrera literaria en París tras participar en la Guerra Civil Rusa, Gazdanov fue reconocido tempranamente como uno de los escritores emigrados más dotados de su generación. Su estilo, deudor de las tradiciones proustianas, explora complejos estados humanos con notable precisión y habilidad literaria.

Translated for the first time, the best short stories by the 'modernist master' Gazdanov, author of The Spectre of Alexander Wolf. In a Metro underpass, bald and dressed in rags, stands a silent beggar. In the evening, he walks the deserted streets of Paris; at night, he sleeps in a small, foetid crate vacated by the death of another beggar. He is poor and he is ill, but, on reflection, he is free. Never published before in English, this marvellously translated collection of tightly written, lyrical works represent marvellously compact miniatures of all the major strands that Gazdanov explores in his novels. The senselessness of life, the nature of fate, and the richness of the inner life - these brilliant and moving stories have it all.
