| 8 vo, publisher´s binding. VERY GOOD. A RARE PROVINCIAL PUBLICATION. The Ural-Press Publishers 'Kriminal´naia kollektsiia' Series differes from Krylov Press (St.Peterburg) 'Kriminal´naia kollektsiia' Series of 2004. Binding, illustrations and logo designed by N.Gorbunov. Valuable afterword by the author ('Razmyshleniia avtora o svoem geroe', p. 377-393) on the history of detective and 'police novel' in the USSR and biography of Ivan Dmitrievich Putilin (1830, Novy Oskol, Kursk Province - 1893, Novoladozhsky County, St. Petersburg Province) - chief inspector of the Saint Petersburg police. '[...] the old [...] narrator trick combined with the old fiction-based-on-a-real character trick! Leonid Iuzefovich [...] frames his novels about Putilin with a fictitious writer, Safronov, who visits post-retirement Putilin to take down stories about Putilin’s life and career. The detective stories in the books are ostensibly written by Safronov.[...]' - Lizok´s Bookshelf. See:murders.ru |
