The Foundation Pit
Andrey Platonov (Robert Chandler, Elizabeth Chandler & Olga Meerson (translation))TRANSLATED BY ROBERT & ELIZABETH CHANDLER & OLGA MEERSON
Platonov's dystopian novel describes the lives of a group of Soviet workers who believe they are laying the foundations for a radiant future. As they work harder & dig deeper, their optimism turns to violence & it becomes clear that what is being dug is not a foundation pit but an immense grave.
This new translation, by Robert & Elizabeth Chandler & Olga Meerson, is based on the definitive edition recently published by Pushkin House in Leningrad. All previous translations were done from a seriously bowdlerized text. Robert Chandler is also the translator of Vasily Grossman's Life & Fate. The American scholar Olga Meerson has written extensively on Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Platonov & many other Russian authors.
