"A collection of six vivid stories, each featuring one prominent character... In a Metro underpass, bald and dressed in rags, stands a silent beggar. In the evening, he walks the deserted streets of Paris; at night, he sleeps in a small, foetid crate vacated by the death of another beggar. He is poor and he is ill, but, on reflection, he is free."--Provided by publisher.

Gaito Gazdanov (1903-1971) joined the White Army aged just sixteen and fought in the Russian Civil War.

Pushkin Press also publishes the celebrated The Spectre of Alexander Wolf, The Buddha's Return and The Flight.
