A Life

Donald Rayfield Anton Chekhov — A Life (second edition, 2021)

£25.00

Description

This is a new, revised and expanded edition of the 1997 biography of Chekhov that was highly praised by Arthur Miller, Michael Frayn and many Russian critics. Since then it has been a best-seller in Russian (four editions) and has also been translated into French, Spanish and Chinese. Each new version has been updated: it is now time for English-speaking readers to have an equally accurate and full second edition: not only have mistakes been corrected, but new information on Chekhov's illness, marriage and friends has been included. A number of illustrations, including colour plates, appear for the first time outside Russia. ISBN 978-0-9564683-5-2
xxii + 766 pp. hardback

A Comprehensive Georgian-English Dictionary, 2006. 2 vols

Amount (£)

Description

Donald Rayfield, editor in chief (with Rusudan Amirejibi, Shukia Apridonidze, Laurence Broers, Levan Chkhaidze, Ariane Chanturia, Tina Margalitadze) A Comprehensive Georgian-English Dictionary, 2006. 2 vols. pp xl + 1727. ISBN 978-0-9535878-3

All perfect new copies have now been sold.

However, we have, at the reduced price (£55 instead of £75) a limited number of slightly imperfect copies, which look the same, and have the same content and durability as the perfect copies. The difference is that 8 pages in volume 2 were accidentally left blank by the Turkish printers (it was Ramadan and a hot summer afternoon shift in 2006): these 8 pages have now been replaced by laser offprints. The result is that volume 2 is now 1 mm thicker. Otherwise, the imperfect copies are identical to the perfect ones.
Apologies to purchasers, to whom we now offer free of charge via Googledrive a searchable pdf of an updated (2019) and expanded version of the dictionary.

Postage: UK: £10.00; Europe £25; rest of world £35 (outside the UK we use DHL of Fedex, so PLEASE E-MAIL US YOUR TELEPHONE CONTACT NUMBER.
