Description

The Foundation Pit by Andrey Platonov is a dystopian novel that explores the lives of Soviet workers who believe they are laying the foundations for a radiant future. As they work harder and dig deeper, their optimism turns to violence, revealing a grave with no foundation. Translated by Robert & Elizabeth Chandler and Olga Meerson, this new edition brings together the definitive text from Pushkin House in Leningrad. The translators have worked closely with American scholar Olga Meerson, who has written extensively on Russian authors such as Dostoevsky and Platonov. With a total of 240 pages, this paperback edition is a thought-provoking read for those interested in literary fiction and dystopian themes.
