  • Invitation to a Beheadingby Vladimir Nabokov

    Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2011; US$ 15.00

    Like Kafka's The Castle, Invitation to a Beheading embodies a vision of a bizarre and irrational world. In an unnamed dream country, the young man Cincinnatus C. is condemned to death by beheading for "gnostical turpitude." an imaginary crime that defies definition. Cincinnatus spends his last days in an absurd jail, where he is visited by chimerical... more...

    Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2012; US$ 16.95

    Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2011; US$ 16.00

As Gogol's wily antihero, Chichikov, combs the back country wheeling and dealing... more...

  • The Grand Inquisitorby Fyodor Dostoyevsky
