(from the Pushkin House website)
"Teffi's 'Memories: From Moscow to the Black Sea' (Pushkin Press) was given special recognition by the judges of the 2017 Pushkin House Prize and was awarded a secondary £2,000 prize for Best Russian Book in Translation. Two of Teffi's translators Robert & Elizabeth Chandler have donated their share of the prize money to help fund Jekaterina Shulga’s research into the different manuscript versions of Vasily Grossman’s 'Stalingrad' (also titled 'For A Just Cause'), which they are currently translating. This novel, first published in 1952, is, in effect the first half of LIFE AND FATE, and is equally vivid, powerful and complex."
Jekaterina Shulga’s research remains in need of further funding - if you would also like to make a donation please contact [log in to unmask]
