Features: Wenhui Original Series. In Lan Yingnian's works, there is always a terrifying truth that emerges layer by layer from that not-so-distant yet shrouded-in-mist history; our reading always carries a desire for truth, savoring the honesty and courage of a thinker through the biting, absurd, and bitter people and events. Lan Yingnian's main translated works include Apteka on the River (co-translated), Alisa, Kuprin's Short Stories, How Gogol Wrote, Reminiscences of Gogol, Yama Street, Doctor Zhivago (co-translated), The Evil Powers (co-translated), and dozens of short stories. His essay collections include Mountains Hide Nothing, Tales of Tomb-Seekers, Cold Moon Burying Poetic Souls, The Life Boat Shattered by Reality, Bitter Wine, and Lidiya's Expulsion from the Writers' Union. This book is a collection of the author's works on the Soviet literary scene, including 34 articles such as Two Soviet Writers Who Refused to Plead Guilty, Listening to Old Songs, and Who Distorts History.
