{"product_id":"fourteen-little-red-huts-and-other-plays-9780231181297","title":"Fourteen Little Red Huts and Other Plays","description":"In this essential collection of Andrei Platonov's plays, the noted Platonov translator Robert Chandler edits and introduces \u003ci\u003eThe Hurdy-Gurdy\u003c\/i\u003e (translated by Susan Larsen), \u003ci\u003eFourteen Little Red Huts\u003c\/i\u003e (translated by Chandler), and \u003ci\u003eGrandmother's Little Hut\u003c\/i\u003e (translated by Jesse Irwin). Written in 1930 and 1933, respectively, \u003ci\u003eThe Hurdy-Gurdy \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Fourteen Little Red Huts \u003c\/i\u003econstitute an impassioned and penetrating response to Stalin's assault on the Soviet peasantry. They reflect the political urgency of Bertolt Brecht and anticipate the tragic farce of Samuel Beckett but play out through dialogue and characterization that is unmistakably Russian. This volume also includes \u003ci\u003eGrandmother's Little Hut\u003c\/i\u003e, an unfinished play that represents Platonov's later, gentler work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrei Platonov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Russian Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.6lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231181297","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42451956367497,"sku":"9780231181297","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_9de2fe84-1b59-4b92-9ff2-aac1d8c7ad27.jpg?v=1716103324","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/fourteen-little-red-huts-and-other-plays-9780231181297","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
