Paperback. Etat : New. Klotsvog is a novel about being Jewish in the Soviet Union and the historical trauma of World War II-and it's a novel about the petty dramas and demons of one strikingly vain woman. Maya Abramovna Klotsvog has had quite a life, and she wants you to know all about it. Selfish, garrulous, and thoroughly entertaining, she tells us where she came from, who she didn't get along with, and what became of all her husbands and lovers.In Klotsvog, Margarita Khemlin creates a first-person narrator who is both deeply self-absorbed and deeply compelling. From Maya's perspective, Khemlin unfurls a retelling of the Soviet Jewish experience that integrates the historical and the personal into her protagonist's vividly drawn inner and outer lives. Maya's life story flows as a long monologue, told in unfussy language dense with Khemlin's magnificently manipulated Soviet clichés and matter-of-fact descriptions of Soviet life. Born in a center of Jewish culture in Ukraine, she spent the war in evacuation in Kazakhstan. She has few friends but has had several husbands, and her relationships with her relatives are strained at best. The war looms over Klotsvog, and the trauma runs deep, as do the ambiguities and ambivalences of Jewish identity. Lisa Hayden's masterful translation brings this gripping character study full of dark, sly humor and new perspectives on Jewish heritage and survival to an English-speaking audience. …

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. This copy appears to be unread and has no faults. A first‑person account of a Soviet Jewish woman whose life unfolds through a series of marriages, relocations, and shifting loyalties from the post‑war years into the late Soviet period. Told in a brisk, confessional voice, the narrative reveals how she navigates family expectations, social pressures, and personal ambition while often overlooking the emotional cost to those around her. Through her sharply drawn recollections, the novel offers a portrait of everyday Soviet life, marked by bureaucracy, prejudice, resilience, and the complicated ways people justify their choices.…

Brossura. Etat : new. Traduzione di Buscaglione Candela P.Firenze, 2013; br., pp. 87, cm 13,5x21,5.(Diaspora). Con uno sguardo ironico e affettuoso i racconti di Margarita Khemlin ci introducono nel mondo bizzarro e travagliato degli ebrei ucraini. Irrequieti e originali, i personaggi di questi racconti attraversano il Novecento in un equilibrio precario, quasi galleggiando con il loro bagaglio ebraico nel grande mare sovietico. Scettici e paurosi di ogni cambiamento, si misurano con le piccole vicende quotidiane come con i grandi eventi storici con il medesimo distacco e ironico sarcasmo, tratto del carattere che tuttavia non impedisce loro di fronteggiare la vita con passione e speranza.
