Signed by the translator on the title page with the inscription: "To mousy Miss Swift from Patrick Miles". Aleksandr Vampilov's plays often explore existential crises and the conflict between personal values and social pressures in the Soviet era. Duck Hunting (1967) follows Viktor Zilov, an cynical man facing a deep crisis of purpose, ultimately rejecting his false life, which some interpret as redemption and others as self-destruction. Last Summer in Chulimsk (1971) centers on a waitress, Valentina, representing traditional values, who repairs a fence in a rural town while surrounded by apathetic characters, highlighting the loss of human connection and nature to progress. Both plays are noted for their deep psychological insights and critique of Soviet life. First Thus. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 158 pages. No Dust Jacket as published. White titles spine.
