Evening with Claire
Their meetings transport the hero... to a world of lost homeland: carefree childhood, studying in a gymnasium, and the tragic trials of the Civil War.
Gaito Gazdanov (1903–1971) — a Russian émigré writer, whom his contemporaries placed on par with V. Nabokov. The action of the novel «Evening with Claire» takes place in Paris in the 1920s. The Russian emigrant Nikolai meets the charming Frenchwoman Claire, whom he fell in love with back in 1917 in pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg. Their meetings transport the hero to a world of lost homeland: carefree childhood, studying in a gymnasium, and the tragic trials of the Civil War. The book also includes the novel «The Ghost of Alexander Wolf», which allowed Gazdanov to leave his job as a taxi driver and start earning a living through literary work.
