The influence of Andrey Platonov (1899-1951), a gifted writer of the Soviet era, has pervaded Soviet and Russian literature since the 1950s. \"The River Potudan\" (1937), should introduce the student of Russian to the complex thought and ideas that writers like Platonov, despite the severity of the times, were able, and brave enough, to convey. This story concerns a soldier returning from war, who with the support of a community of friends and family, builds a new life in Communist Russia. Complex issues are at stake: the hero has been emasculated by his experience; not harmony, but disintegration and alienation are characteristic of the Soviet society presented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrei Platonovich Platonov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853993778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853993770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.48w x 0.26d","brand":"Andrei Platonovich Platonov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44159445172479,"sku":"9781853993770","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf5eb882-9cb6-4bdd-916a-e4dfe78fdf3a.jpg?v=1689082648","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/platonov-andrei-platonovich-platonov-9781853993770","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
