Product Information
A sort of Soviet Don Quixote , this novel about a craftsman who wanders the U.S.S.R. hoping to ease human misery with his inventions is considered one of the most important novels of the Soviet era, and is now available in its full version in English for the first time. Chevengur is a revolutionary novel about revolutionary ardor and despair. Zakhar Pavlovich comes from a world of traditional crafts to work as a train mechanic, motivated by his belief in the transformative power of industry. His adopted son, Sasha Dvanov, embraces revolution, which will transform everything: the words we speak and the lives we live, souls and bodies, the soil underfoot and the sun overhead. Seeking communism, Dvanov joins up with Stepan Kopionkin, a warrior for the cause whose steed is the fearsome cart horse Strength of the Proletariat. Together they cross the steppe, encountering counterrevolutionaries, desperados, and visionaries of all kinds. At last they reach the isolated town of Chevengur. There communism is believed to have been achieved because everything that is not communism has been eliminated. And yet even in Chevengur the revolution recedes from sight. Comic, ironic, grotesque, disturbingly poetic in its use of language, and profoundly sorrowful, Chevengur --here published in a new English translation based on the most authoritative Russian text--is the most ambitious of the extraordinary novels that the great Andrey Platonov wrote in the 1920s and 1930s, when Soviet Russia was moving from revolutionary euphoria to state terror.

Reviews
"Platonov is not just a voice of his generation but a sage to our own, warning us that the flaws of human idealism are condemned to overshadow its realized visions." --Michael Barron, The Washington Post "Today, few books offer the level of insight into modern Russian history as Chevengur does, a 1929 novel by the Soviet writer Andrey Platonov, composed as the Bolsheviks established the Soviet Union and consolidated power." --Anastasia Edel, The Atlantic "While it's a commonplace to say a writer has a style all his own, no one quite resembles Platonov. He's simultaneously a documentarian sharing a slideshow of the Soviet Union's bloody history and a fabulist forging a prescient Russian version of magical realism. His touch is light. Without a conventional plot or character development, he leaves readers with vivid memories....More than translators, the Chandlers are in the business of literary reclamation. They previously translated Platonov's The Foundation Pit, Soul and Happy Moscow , all of which have their roots in Chevengur . Without the Chandlers, English-speakers would probably know Vasily Grossman as a mere footnote to Russian literature, rather than the author of Life and Fate , one of the previous century's supreme novels. Without the Chandlers, Platonov, too, might have remained an obscurity among Anglophone readers. Now we have Platonov and his finest novel, Chevengur , thanks to the Chandlers." --Patrick Kurp, The Wall Street Journal "By turns picaresque, ethereal, tragic and poetic, Chevengur is without doubt one of the great 20th-century modernist parables. Taken together with Platonov's other major novel, The Foundation Pit --also available in translation by the Chandlers--it firmly establishes the author alongside Vasily Grossman as one of the great Soviet writers." --Bryan Karetnyk, Financial Times "A superb work of Soviet-era Russian literature in a welcome, well-annotated new translation." -- Kirkus Starred Review "[ Chevengur ] is at once comic and rich in pathos: Platonov's depictions of the long-suffering peasantry can veer toward the absurd...but he draws them in great detail, lending them gravity and humanity through measured prose and a bend toward realism." -- Publishers Weekly Starred Review "Like many of Platonov's remarkable fictions... Chevengur offers contemporary readers a wholly imagined, often surprising and by turns terrifying and delightful world. It is one in which magic realism doesn't predominate but which is invested by an otherworldly testimony about our dizzyingly unbelievable history, and brought to memorable life by a man who wasn't afraid of telling all that he knew, believed and hoped." --Scott Bradfield, The Spectator, "A superb work of Soviet-era Russian literature in a welcome, well-annotated new translation." -- Kirkus Starred Review "[ Chevengur ] is at once comic and rich in pathos: Platonov's depictions of the long-suffering peasantry can veer toward the absurd...but he draws them in great detail, lending them gravity and humanity through measured prose and a bend toward realism." -- Publishers Weekly Starred Review "Like many of Platonov's remarkable fictions...
