STEPHEN KOTK INStalinWaiting for Hitler, 1929-1941The second installment of Pulitzer Prize-finalist Stephen Kotkin’s definitive biography of Joseph Stalin explores the brutal transformation of Russian society—and the trans-formation of Stalin himself—from collectivization and the Great Terror to the conflict with Hitler's Germany.Penguin Press Hardcover • 1,184 pages • 978-1-59420-380-0 • $40.00

StalinParadoxes of Power, 1878-1928“Kotkin’s first volume on Stalin is ambitious in conception and masterly in execution. It provides a brilliant account of Stalin’s formation as a political actor up to his fateful decision to collectivize agriculture by force. Kotkin combines biography with histori-cal analysis in a way that brings out clearly Stalin's great political talents as well as the ruthlessness with which he applied them and the impact his policies had on Russia and the world. This is a magisterial work on the grandest scale.”— David Halloway, Stanford University, author of Stalin and the Bomb“A monumental achievement.”—John Lewis GaddisPenguin Paperback • 976 pages • 978-0-14-312786-4 • $26.00

DOMIN IC L IEVENThe End of Tsarist RussiaThe March to World War I and Revolution"Lieven's insight into the mentalities of early twentieth century Russian statesmen is un-rivalled. As a result, he presents the fullest and most nuanced picture we have of Russia's halting but in the end determined entry into the First World War. This book supersedes all previous ones on the subject."—Geoffrey Hosking, University College London"Readers who, after two years of vigorous debate among historians, are looking for a judicious assessment will find this book absorbing as well as indispensable in their teach-ing and research."—V.

ARKADY OSTROVSKYThe Invention of RussiaThe Rise of Putin and the Age of Fake News“For better or for worse, Mr. Putin has forced the world to reckon with a surly and com-bative Russia again. Mr. Ostrovky provides a much needed, dispassionate and eminently readable explanation of how it happened.”—Serge Schmemann, The New York Times“This dazzling book flags up the conflicts over ideas, morality, and national destiny in Moscow politics from Gorbachev to Putin—a triumph of narrative skill and historical empathy based on personal experience and rigorous research.”—Robert Service, author of Comrades! A History of World CommunismPenguin Paperback • 400 pages • 978-0-399-56417-8 • $18.00WINNER OF THE ORWELL PRIZE AND THE CORNELIUS RYAN AWARDFINALIST FOR THE LIONEL GELBER PRIZEFINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR

MASHA GESSENThe Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed RussiaAward-winning journalist Gessen follows the lives of four people born at what promised to be the dawn of democracy. Each of them came of age with unprecedented expecta-tions and aspirations—as entrepreneurs, activists, thinkers, and writers, sexual and so-cial beings. Gessen charts their paths against the machinations of the regime that would crush them all, and against the war it waged on understanding itself, which ensured the unobstructed reemergence of the old Soviet order in the form of today’s terrifying and seemingly unstoppable mafia state.“A beautifully-written, sensitively-argued and cleverly-structured journey through Rus-sia's failure to build democracy….A story about hope and despair, trauma and treatment, ideals and betrayal, and above all about love and cynicism. If you want to truly under-stand why Vladimir Putin has been able to so dominate his country, this book will help you.”—Oliver Bullough, author of Let Our Fame Be Great and The Last Man in RussiaRiverhead Hardcover • 528 pages • 978-1-59463-453-6 • $28.00

The Brothers: The Road to an American TragedyGessen, who was a teenage immigrant herself, offers an astonishing account of the Chech-en Tsarnaev brothers, who attempted to make a life for themselves in one war-torn locale after another. She reconstructs how the brothers' struggle between assimilation and alien-ation when they came to the United States ultimately culminated in their brutal act of ter-rorism, killing three people and wounding 264 near the finish line of the Boston marathon. “Extraordinary….Gessen, who traveled the globe in search of the secrets of the Tsar-naev family, has produced both a gripping narrative and a stunning piece of investigative journalism….[She] gives us the human side to the story of two young men who must be understood as more than monsters.”—Christian Science MonitorRiverhead Paperback • 320 pages • 978-1-59463-400-0 • $16.00

The Man Without a FaceThe Unlikely Rise of Vladimir PutinGessen chronicles how Vladimir Putin, a man with very little governmental or adminis-trative experience, rose to power in Russia, and, with ruthless efficiency, dismantled the country’s media, wrested control and wealth from the business class, and destroyed the fragile mechanisms of democracy. Within a few brief years, virtually every obstacle to his unbridled control was removed and every opposing voice silenced, with political rivals and critics driven into exile or to the grave. Riverhead Paperback • 352 pages • 978-1-59448-651-7 • $17.00

LUDMILLA PETRUSHEVSKAYAThe Girl from the Metropol HotelGrowing Up in Communist RussiaTRANSLATED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ANNA SUMMERS

Born across the street from the Kremlin in the Metropol Hotel, Ludmilla Petrushevskaya grew up in a family of Bolshevik intellectuals who were reduced in the wake of the Rus-sian Revolution to waiting in bread lines. In her prizewinning memoir, she recounts her childhood of extreme deprivation—of wandering the streets, singing for alms, and living by her wits, far removed from the heights she would attain as a celebrated writer. “Powerful….Like a stained-glass Chagall window, Petrushevskaya’s Soviet-era memoir creates a larger panorama out of tiny, vivid chapters, shattered fragments of different color and shape….This memoir shows us how Soviet life hurt Ludmilla Petrushevskaya into crystalline prose.”—The New York Times Book ReviewPenguin Paperback • 176 pages • 978-0-14-312997-4 • $16.00

DOMIN IC Z IEGLERBlack Dragon RiverA Journey Down the Amur River Between Russia and China“Ziegler makes the powerful case that this Asian Russia has been wrongly overshadowed by the country’s much smaller European component....Ziegler uses one of the world’s great rivers as a vehicle to pursue this story—and what a vehicle it is.”—The Wall Street Journal“Presents Ziegler as both an amiable traveling companion and formidably erudite pro-fessor, serving up well-spiced anthropology….In this overexamined world, it's nice to know there are outer reaches that we can discover afresh.”—NPR.orgPenguin Paperback • 368 pages • 978-0-14-310989-1 • $17.00

PETER KROPOTK INThe Conquest of BreadINTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY DAVID PRIESTLAND

In this brilliantly enjoyable rallying-cry of a book, Kropotkin lays out the heart of his an-archist beliefs—beliefs that surged around the world in the late 19th and early 20th cen-turies and that have a renewed relevance and poignancy today. Humane and thought-ful, but also a devastating critique of how modern society is organized (with the brutal, narrow few clinging onto their wealth and privileges at the expense of the many), The Conquest of Bread is a book to be argued over, again and again.Penguin Classics Paperback • 224 pages • 978-0-14-139611-8 • $17.00

JUL IE LEKSTROM H IMESMikhail and Margarita: A Novel“This richly imagined retelling of [Bulgakov's] lean years which gave rise to his phan-tasmagoric novel The Master and Margarita—mixes fact and fiction to create a narrative that is both foreign and familiar."—The New YorkerEuropa Paperback • 336 pages • 978-1-60945-375-6 • $18.00LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION'S 2017 FIRST NOVEL PRIZE

MASHA GESSENThe Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed RussiaAward-winning journalist Gessen follows the lives of four people born at what promised to be the dawn of democracy. Each of them came of age with unprecedented expecta-tions and aspirations—as entrepreneurs, activists, thinkers, and writers, sexual and so-cial beings. Gessen charts their paths against the machinations of the regime that would crush them all, and against the war it waged on understanding itself, which ensured the unobstructed reemergence of the old Soviet order in the form of today’s terrifying and seemingly unstoppable mafia state.“A beautifully-written, sensitively-argued and cleverly-structured journey through Rus-sia's failure to build democracy….A story about hope and despair, trauma and treatment, ideals and betrayal, and above all about love and cynicism.

The Man Without a FaceThe Unlikely Rise of Vladimir PutinGessen chronicles how Vladimir Putin, a man with very little governmental or adminis-trative experience, rose to power in Russia, and, with ruthless efficiency, dismantled the country’s media, wrested control and wealth from the business class, and destroyed the fragile mechanisms of democracy. Within a few brief years, virtually every obstacle to his unbridled control was removed and every opposing voice silenced, with political rivals and critics driven into exile or to the grave.

LUDMILLA PETRUSHEVSKAYAThe Girl from the Metropol HotelGrowing Up in Communist RussiaTRANSLATED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ANNA SUMMERS

Born across the street from the Kremlin in the Metropol Hotel, Ludmilla Petrushevskaya grew up in a family of Bolshevik intellectuals who were reduced in the wake of the Rus-sian Revolution to waiting in bread lines. In her prizewinning memoir, she recounts her childhood of extreme deprivation—of wandering the streets, singing for alms, and living by her wits, far removed from the heights she would attain as a celebrated writer. “Powerful….Like a stained-glass Chagall window, Petrushevskaya’s Soviet-era memoir creates a larger panorama out of tiny, vivid chapters, shattered fragments of different color and shape….This memoir shows us how Soviet life hurt Ludmilla Petrushevskaya into crystalline prose.”—The New York Times Book ReviewPenguin Paperback • 176 pages • 978-0-14-312997-4 • $16.00

PETER KROPOTK INThe Conquest of BreadINTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY DAVID PRIESTLAND

In this brilliantly enjoyable rallying-cry of a book, Kropotkin lays out the heart of his an-archist beliefs—beliefs that surged around the world in the late 19th and early 20th cen-turies and that have a renewed relevance and poignancy today. Humane and thought-ful, but also a devastating critique of how modern society is organized (with the brutal, narrow few clinging onto their wealth and privileges at the expense of the many), The Conquest of Bread is a book to be argued over, again and again.Penguin Classics Paperback • 224 pages • 978-0-14-139611-8 • $17.00

She reconstructs how the brothers' struggle between assimilation and alien-ation when they came to the United States ultimately culminated in their brutal act of ter-rorism, killing three people and wounding 264 near the finish line of the Boston marathon. “Extraordinary….Gessen, who traveled the globe in search of the secrets of the Tsar-naev family, has produced both a gripping narrative and a stunning piece of investigative journalism….[She] gives us the human side to the story of two young men who must be understood as more than monsters.”—Christian Science MonitorRiverhead Paperback • 320 pages • 978-1-59463-400-0 • $16.00

The Man Without a FaceThe Unlikely Rise of Vladimir PutinGessen chronicles how Vladimir Putin, a man with very little governmental or adminis-trative experience, rose to power in Russia, and, with ruthless efficiency, dismantled the country’s media, wrested control and wealth from the business class, and destroyed the fragile mechanisms of democracy. Within a few brief years, virtually every obstacle to his unbridled control was removed and every opposing voice silenced, with political rivals and critics driven into exile or to the grave.

LUDMILLA PETRUSHEVSKAYAThe Girl from the Metropol HotelGrowing Up in Communist RussiaTRANSLATED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ANNA SUMMERS

Born across the street from the Kremlin in the Metropol Hotel, Ludmilla Petrushevskaya grew up in a family of Bolshevik intellectuals who were reduced in the wake of the Rus-sian Revolution to waiting in bread lines. In her prizewinning memoir, she recounts her childhood of extreme deprivation—of wandering the streets, singing for alms, and living by her wits, far removed from the heights she would attain as a celebrated writer. “Powerful….Like a stained-glass Chagall window, Petrushevskaya’s Soviet-era memoir creates a larger panorama out of tiny, vivid chapters, shattered fragments of different color and shape….This memoir shows us how Soviet life hurt Ludmilla Petrushevskaya into crystalline prose.”—The New York Times Book ReviewPenguin Paperback • 176 pages • 978-0-14-312997-4 • $16.00

DOMIN IC Z IEGLERBlack Dragon RiverA Journey Down the Amur River Between Russia and China“Ziegler makes the powerful case that this Asian Russia has been wrongly overshadowed by the country’s much smaller European component....Ziegler uses one of the world’s great rivers as a vehicle to pursue this story—and what a vehicle it is.”—The Wall Street Journal“Presents Ziegler as both an amiable traveling companion and formidably erudite pro-fessor, serving up well-spiced anthropology….In this overexamined world, it's nice to know there are outer reaches that we can discover afresh.”—NPR.orgPenguin Paperback • 368 pages • 978-0-14-310989-1 • $17.00

PETER KROPOTK INThe Conquest of BreadINTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY DAVID PRIESTLAND

In this brilliantly enjoyable rallying-cry of a book, Kropotkin lays out the heart of his an-archist beliefs—beliefs that surged around the world in the late 19th and early 20th cen-turies and that have a renewed relevance and poignancy today. Humane and thought-ful, but also a devastating critique of how modern society is organized (with the brutal, narrow few clinging onto their wealth and privileges at the expense of the many), The Conquest of Bread is a book to be argued over, again and again.Penguin Classics Paperback • 224 pages • 978-0-14-139611-8 • $17.00
