  Pushkin: A Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Review: Dostoevsky once said that Alexsandr Pushkin was the quintessential Russian man because of his compassion and empathy for mankind, despite all of the humiliation and misery that he suffered from his friends, family, and the rest of high society during the later years of his life.
Feinstein presents Pushkin's life story in an engaging and readable style that is well-suited for general readers who have little prior knowledge of the man or his works.
Besides, Pushkin's numerous love affairs and relationships are insufficiently explicated, and the whole of the narrative is confusing and takes you annoyingly back and forward through the years.

 John Rodker Papers, Series Descriptions
Cotterill's Form of Diary had been published anonymously by the Pushkin Press in 1939, and she and Rodker had continued a correspondence, retained here, until her death in 1950, at which time Rodker was appointed her executor.
Through misunderstandings and mischances the partnership foundered and became inactive, only to be followed up by intermittent disagreements into the mid-1950s as to how its small remaining bank account was to be shared between the principals.
A byproduct of John Rodker's involvement with Preslit was the publication by the Pushkin Press in 1941 of Hubert Griffith's English translation of Aleksandr Afinogenov's Distant Point.

 Book Reviews
These Pushkin Press editions continue to excite me. This small London-based publishing house is one of the few presses I know of who produce books whose appearance and price match the quality of the writing within.
It is also not the fault of Pushkin Press, as they are just reprinting the original unfinished novel in the form it was published in 1932.
There are plenty of finished novels out there to read, many of them in handsome Pushkin editions, and you dear reader of this review, can decide for yourself if you wish to put on your Wellies and decipher a brilliant writer's half-developed thoughts.

 UW Press - : The Pushkin Handbook, edited by David M. Bethea, A Publication of the Wisconsin Center for Pushkin Studies
The Pushkin Handbook, a collection of new studies by leading Pushkin scholars from the former Soviet Union, North America, and elsewhere, unites in one volume a multiplicity of voices engaged in a genuinely post-Soviet dialogue.
Contributors to the volume consider Pushkin in terms of his biography; his innovations in the forms of lyric, narrative poem, novel in verse, drama, and fictional prose; his thoughts on history, politics, and literature; the textual challenges of his work; and the problems of translating it.
Another major focus is Pushkin's place in the literary and cultural cosmos: his relationship to his Russian predecessors and contemporaries, his responses to other European literature, his role within the traditions of Romanticism and Realism, and his reception and interpretation by readers at various points in history.

 the Literary Saloon at the complete review - 11 - 20 November 2002 Archive
Pushkin Press are to be warmly congratulated on this modest and yet altogether original and desirable publishing enterprise.
Pushkin Press published the books in the original (nearly century-old) translations -- which seems appropriate.
Fortunately, Pushkin Press offers two of them -- and at least one more (The Hidden Force) can be found (try Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk if your local bookstore doesn't have it).

 poetrymagazines.org.uk - Review
Watch out for the Pushkin Press, which is republishing neglected European classics.
I’ve just read his Letter from an Unknown Woman, a novella which as Pushkin said is of distorted passion and “a rendition of the strengthened madness of love”, but many of their other titles are also worth getting hold of.
Enitharmon publishes prose from time to time, apart from their admirable poetry list, and recently they’ve reprinted David Gascoyne’s A Short Survey of Surrealism, first published in 1935 and not to be missed if you haven’t read it.

 UW Press - : Alexander Pushkin's Little Tragedies: The Poetics of Brevity, Edited by Svetlana Evdokimova
Alexander Pushkin's four compact plays, later known as The Little Tragedies, were written at the height of the author's creative powers, and their influence on many Russian and Western writers cannot be overestimated.
Yet Western readers are far more familiar with Pushkin's lyrics, narrative poems, and prose than with his drama.
Setting out to redress this and to reclaim a cornerstone of Pushkin's work, Evodokimova and her distinguished contributors offer the first thorough critical study of these plays.

 The Invisible Collection/Buchmendel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
This nice little book from Pushkin Press, about A5 in size with quality paper, contains two shorts from Austrian author Stefan Zweig, whom I'd no knowledge of prior to spotting this on the shelf.
Both stories, named The Invisible Collection and Buchmendel, are linked by the theme of obsession and describe the lives of two different men for whom life was solely about art and literature respectively.
Overall, though, the stories work well together, but a larger collection of Zweig's work would have made a better introduction to his catalogue as it's hard to understand the scope of his writing and ideas when both pieces are thematically linked.

One or two very gushing press notices of this made me want to see what it was all about… It is the first English translation of a novel that Hungarians, apparently, regard as a classic.
And it is very compelling, although I must confess I found the start a bit lame.
Despite everything, Szerb manages to make Mihaly likeable, and through him to deliver an amusing critique of contemporary bourgeois society.

 Bulletin - University of Sussex Newsletter - Bookmark - 13th February 2004
Tobias Hill in the Times says: "Pushkin Press certainly knows how to bring out the beauty in a novel: this pocket-sized edition is so pretty it's hard not to judge the book by its cover.
You wouldn't be far wrong in doing so, either, however the old saying goes, because Schiller's narrative - newly translated by David Bryer - is every bit as beautiful and haunting as its covers suggest."
These issues are addressed from a range of perspectives in this very topical survey of the new trade agenda and its implications for both developing and developed countries."

 The Invisible Collection by Stefan Zweig « Book Review « ReadySteadyBook - a literary site   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Two more excellent pieces by Zweig from Pushkin.
I'm loathe to call them novellas - The Invisible Collection is a scant twenty five pages long (and these are small pages) and (the better story) Buchmendel is itself only fifty five pages: the book can easily be read in a couple of hours.
But, regardless of what we call these tales, they are both wonderful treats and Pushkin Press must be congratulated on producing such handsome wee books and doing such a good job at making Zweig's work available.
