Description

Soul is a haunting novella by Andrey Platonov, exploring the tensions between past and future. A young man is sent to his childhood home in Central Asia as a kind of missionary, bringing modern Russian values to a distant land.

Through seven stories that accompany it, this rediscovered master of twentieth century Russian literature reveals himself at his wisest and most humane. The result is a strange and thought-provoking work that showcases Platonov's unique vision.

Translated with an introduction by Robert and Elizabeth Chandler, and accompanied by an afterword by John Berger, Soul offers a profound exploration of the human condition.
