The Big Book/Dovlatov S./Five-volume set (complete)

"Today, Sergey Dovlatov is one of the most popular and read Russian writers of the late 20th century, and he is 'doomed' to remain so for a long time. His works are that great classic which, despite its significance, remains... interesting and close to readers, regardless of age, nationality, erudition, or, to quote Dovlatov himself, 'the degree of intellectual scrupulousness.' Lev Losev formulated this quality of Dovlatov's prose as follows: 'Dovlatov knew the secret of how to write interestingly.' The proposed five-volume edition is unique. To date, this is the most complete collection of the works of Sergey Dovlatov. Moreover, it includes detailed comments by Professor I.N. Sukhi of St. Petersburg State University. The texts are published taking into account the latest authorial corrections."
