Sergei Dovlatov: The Zone. Printed book.

Sergei Dovlatov is one of the most popular and widely read Russian writers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. His novellas, short stories, and notebooks have been translated into many languages, adapted for the screen, and are studied in schools and universities. Dovlatov’s wonderfully funny and, at the same time, poignantly sad prose has long become a classic, placing him in the company of such masters of tragicomic prose as A. Chekhov, Teffi, A. Averchenko, and M. Zoshchenko.

Dovlatov’s "The Zone" is a collection of fourteen episodes from the lives of prisoners and their guards, stories of human coexistence behind barbed wire, told simply and with a sobering humor, behind which one can hear quite clearly: "Hell is ourselves."
