Live And Remember

Live and Remember (1992) – Valentin Rasputin
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
Sold by: Crappy Old Books

Grim. Beautiful. Russian. In Live and Remember, Valentin Rasputin drops you straight into the snowy moral fog of Siberia at the tail end of WWII. This isn’t your typical war novel—it’s about a deserter hiding in shame, a village wrestling with silence, and one woman caught between love and loyalty. Rasputin’s prose hits like a frostbitten gut punch: sparse, poetic, and brutally human.

Translated from the Russian with all the soul intact, this 1992 edition from Northwestern University Press is perfect for readers who like their literature heavy, their characters conflicted, and their pages slightly yellowed (hey, we are Crappy Old Books). Whether you’re a Russian lit veteran or just in the mood for something darker than your last existential crisis, Live and Remember will stick with you—like snow in your boots.

Condition as new.
