| 1. |  | One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich from NAL Trade Price: $6.39 Customer Review:  "One Day in the Life..." is stark, humane, and ceaselessly hopeful. Solzhenitsyn spend years in labor camps and exile, and he filters those experiences into this tale of one prisoner going through a day in the freezing wastelands of Siberia. Ivan has a ten-year sentence, and has learned to work... |

| 3. |  | Petersburg from Pushkin Press Price: $11.53 Customer Review: "Petersburg' is a book I stumbled across, not having planned to go there. I'm delighted that I did, as it turned out to be one of the most unique and absorbing reading experiences I've had to date. Frankly, the cover art of this edition was the lure which dragged me in. The whimsical/macabre,... |

| 4. |  | In the First Circle: The First Uncensored Edition from Harper Perennial Price: $11.11 Customer Review: This new translation of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's In The First Circle which appeared in English last year, presents a "restored text" of the Russian novelist's masterwork. It is a towering achievement -- in fact, I cannot think of another 20th century novel that comes close to it in moral authority... |

| 5. |  | The Gulag Archipelago Volume 1: An Experiment in Literary Investigation (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $13.54 Customer Review: Solzhenitsyn's Archipelago was for me, a page-turner that I couldn't (or didn't want to) put down. It reads like a novel, but is so densely packed with first-hand, second-hand accounts, hearsay, demonstrable facts and plausible speculations. If "History" were always this gripping of a read,... |

| 6. |  | A Hero of Our Time (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $7.95 Customer Review: Though "Timeless Classic" might be considered a trite appellation, it suits this work quite well. In this, Lermontov exemplifies a Shakespearian grasp of violence, despair, wry humor, sex, death, and imperfect heroes. "A Hero of Our Time" represents a very approachable read for the novice reader of... |

| 7. |  | Omon Ra from New Directions Publishing Corporation Price: $5.99 Customer Review:  Victor Pelevin's Omon Ra is a fiction of two halves. A novella that starts out rather slowly, Pelevin writes of the nostalgia that soviet era cosmonaut Omon Krivomazov experiences in his pursuit of reaching the moon from the time as a young boy. It's a distinctly Russian nostalgia that takes... |

| 8. |  | The Luzhin Defense from Vintage Price: $8.56 Customer Review: The novel is built around a simple and brilliant idea - every second of life is precious, there is no time to waste, when it comes down to it chess is a waste of time ... there are better things to do. There were many men before (and after) Bobby Fischer who had became psyciatrically insane and... |

| 9. |  | The Wrath of Dionysus: A Novel from Indiana University Press Price: $14.35 Customer Review: I found this book interesting on many levels. First, it has just plain good story-telling and an interesting (if somewhat sensational, romance novel-esque) plot line. More importantly, though, I think this book conveys a sense the new Russian woman of the early 1900s. The story is very edgy and... |

| 10. |  | Anna Karenina (Oprah's Book Club) from Penguin Classics Price: $6.99 Customer Review: Italo Calvino once said that, "a classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say." Well, I don't doubt he was talking about Anna Karenina! Published serially from 1873 to '77, this book is considered one of Tolstoy's two greatest works, alongside his earlier War And Peace. |
