‎Nebylitskaya Natalya. Bal Besnovatyh. / Ball of the Possessed. Moscow, 2011‎

‎In Russian. Short description: Nebylitskaya Natalya. Ball of the Possessed. Moscow, 2011. This is a story about people in Russia. Their destinies are exciting adventures in themselves. But the main thing in the book is the struggle for honor and human dignity, the struggle with circumstances and accidents, the ongoing war with one's own weaknesses and mistakes. The heroes of the book are not villains and not saints - it's you and me. The narrative begins at the end of the Yeltsin era. But the present and the future do not exist without the past. And therefore the paths of heroes are the threads in which all times are intertwined. Please feel free to contact us for a detailed description of the copies available. SKUMS002084‎

‎The scarce first edition of Dostojevsky's final showdown with nihilism. This masterpiece of Russian literature has had a profound impact upon our understanding of the human spirit and constitutes one of the greatest classic portrayals of how humans live and think. Being his most political work, this epic novel also displays the horrors of socialistic ideas about revolution, of the nihilistic thoughts of terror, and the pitifulness of the civil society. Here, Dostojevski fiercely attacks both radicalism, socialism, anarchism, and atheism. The work became profoundly influential, both politically and literally.‎
