Venedikt Erofeev: Moscow-Petushki and Other Works

A collection of works by one of the cult Russian writers of the 20th century, Venedikt Erofeev. Venedikt Erofeev gained worldwide fame for his celebrated poem "Moscow to the End of the Line," which has been translated into more than thirty languages. And although its protagonist, Venichka, never saw Red Square, he truly became a folk hero, and the author himself is now recognized as a classic of 20th-century Russian literature.

However, Erofeev's creative legacy is not limited to the poem "Moscow to the End of the Line"; it also includes "Notes of a Psychopath" (1956–1958), begun at the age of 17, the play "Walpurgis Night" (part of a trilogy conceived by the author but left unfinished, under the general title "Drei Nächte"), and so-called minor prose works, including an essay written for his university entrance exams and a brief autobiography. All of this, along with excerpts from the notebooks Venedikt Erofeev kept from the late 1950s and a short memoir about his admission to the Vladimir Pedagogical Institute, is included in this edition, which will make a wonderful gift for fans of the writer.
