– 234 p.; 21.5x14 cm. Ornate publisher's cover. Very good condition. Fading spine. Sergei Sergeevich Maximov (real surname Pashin; 1916-1967) was a Russian prose writer, poet, and playwright. He was a representative of the second wave of Russian emigration. From 1936 to 1941, he was imprisoned in a concentration camp in Pechora, and in 1943 he emigrated to Germany. The writer's novel Denis Bushuev (1949) and collection of short stories Taiga significantly preceded the 'camp prose' of A. Solzhenitsyn and V. Shalamov.
