I love Pushkin Press books. Probably my favourite so far would be any of the Stefan Zweigs!

Really looking forward to getting my hands on The Parrots by Filippo Bologna but doesn’t look like it is released in Australia yet. may have to resort to one of those evil online stores 😦

I really liked Traveller of the Century but my all time favourite is Petersburg by Andrei Bely. It was in my mind all the time when we went to St Petersburg last year:)

I’d have to echo Lisa’s answers – they were the two that came to my mind too 🙂

Great idea for a yearly post. It is really great that organizations like this are increasing the amount of literature available to us in English.

Count me in, Stu. I absolutely loved Traveller of the Century. I’m sure I’ve got a couple of books from Pushkin Press on my shelves here so it’ll be a good time to read them.
