"Along with an incisive Introduction by Kathryn Harrison, this Modern Library edition includes the transcript of the judge’s decision in the famous 1959 obscenity trial that allowed Lady Chatterley’s Lover to be published in the United States." - http://www.randomhouse.com/book/98529/lady-chatterleys-lover-by-dh-lawrence

PUSHKIN vs BULGAKOV!

As my head hurts more and more from my efforts to read Russian classics IN RUSSIAN, I swtiched from Bulgakovs 'Dogs Heart' to A.S.Pushkin's 'The Captain's Daughter', "an ideal novel", as I was told a week ago by Russian literature professor whom I met in Ulyanovsk. He told me to leave Bulgakov and go straight to Pushkin, and to be honest, I don't think I have an argument against that, as I understood that dog is a story-teller only in the 9th page of Bulgakovs 'Dogs Heart'..

So one of my dreams is coming true - I'm reading A.S.Pushkin ir Russian. Enjoying every word of it. One of those rare cases when I purposely read slowly just to safe few pages for the next day.
