O knihe

Written at the height of Stalin's first five-year plan for the industrialization of Soviet Russia and the parallel campaign to collectivize
Soviet agriculture, Andrei Platonov's 'The Foundation Pit'
registers a dissonant mixture of utopian longings and despair. Furthermore,
it provides essential background to Platonov's parody
of the mainstream Soviet "production" novel, which is widely
recognized as one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century Russian
prose. In addition to an overview of the work's key themes, it
discusses their place within Platonov's oeuvre as a whole, his troubled
relations with literary officialdom, the work's ideological
and political background, and key critical responses since its first
publication in the West in 1973.

Thomas Seifid (PhD 1984, Cornell University) is Professor at
University of Southern California. Author of 'Andrei Platonov.
Uncertainties of Spirit' (Cambridge University Press, 1992), 'The Word
Made Self: Russian Writings on Language, 1860-1930' (Cornell University
Press, 2005), and numerous articles on Russian literature
and culture.
