First vintage ppbk edition. 291 age-toned pages plus a list of vintage titles at the back. Clean, square, unmarked and in VG condition.About the book: Zamyatin is best known for the brilliant dystopian novel We, one of the great classics of science fiction. The Dragon is a collection of fifteen of his short stories (including a 67 page novella) published between 1918 and 1935. It also includes an introduction by the translator, Mirra Ginsburg, and the text of the letter Zamyatin wrote to Stalin in which he asked to be allowed to "go abroad ... with the right to return as soon as it becomes possible in our country to serve great ideas without cringing before little men". The stories are all tales of everyday life before, during and after the revolution, but are rather hard to classify further — "realist fairy tales", perhaps.

Here, in his own words and in his inimitable sketches and paintings, is the story of the artist's life, by turns matter-of-fact and sentimental, serious and comic.
