Throughout the ten years of their separation, thoughts of Claire lingered persistently in Kolya's mind. As the imagined romance finally becomes real, Kolya is thrown into recollections of formative moments from his youth in Russia, from his solitary early years through military school and service in the White Army in the Civil War, all leading to this union with Claire. <p/>The first novel by the celebrated Russian master Gaito Gazdanov, <i>An Evening with Claire</i> is a lyrical, finely crafted portrait of a lost innocence and a vanished era.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>"An Evening with Claire</i> is a masterfully crafted book that not only deserves but demands renewed attention."--<b><i>Los Angeles Review of Books</i></b> <p/>The Gazdanov revival... is nothing short of a literary event<b>--<i>TLS<br></i></b> <br>Pushkin Press is to be congratulated on reviving an author who is as relevant now as ever<br><b>--<i>Spectator</i></b> <p/>A fascinating writer<b>--</b><i><b>Irish Times</b><br></i> <br>Gazdanov's work is the perfect fusion of the Russian tradition and French innovation<b>--<i>London Review of Books</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Gaito Gazdanov (1903-1971) joined the White Army aged just sixteen and fought in the Russian Civil War.
