This book presents translations of two celebrated works by Georgy Ivanov. Disintegration of the Atom (1938) is a prose poem depicting Russian émigré despair on the eve of WWII—a cri de coeur that challenges prevailing concepts of time and space, ending in erotically charged wretchedness. Petersburg Winters (1928/1952) is a portrait of Petersburg swept up in the artistic ferment of late Imperial and Revolutionary Russia. The spirit of the city is conveyed through a series of vignettes of Ivanov’s contemporaries, including Blok, Akhmatova, Esenin, and Mandelstam.
Jerome Katsell was born in Brooklyn and raised Liberty, NY and Palo Alto, CA. He holds a PhD from UCLA, and is an independent scholar and translator.

Stanislav Shvabrin teaches Russian language and literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
