New bilingual edition of Miniatures from YMCA-Press

Yesterday YMCA-Press, Solzhenitsyn’s long-time publishing house in Paris, released a beautiful new bilingual (Russian and French) complete edition of his Miniatures, containing both the 18 miniatures of 1958–63, and the 14 miniatures of 1996–99. There is a new afterword by renowned Solzhenitsyn scholar Georges Nivat, as well as some useful notes about each miniature. For convenient juxtaposition, and as traditional with bilingual editions, the original Russian text appears verso, and the French translation recto. The translation is the same expert one, by Lucile Nivat and Nikia Struve, that first appeared in 2004 from Fayard.
