Written in 1930 and 1933, respectively, The Hurdy-Gurdy and Fourteen Little Red Huts constitute an impassioned and penetrating response to Stalin's assault on the Soviet peasantry. They reflect the political urgency of Bertolt Brecht and anticipate the tragic farce of Samuel Beckett but play out through dialogue and characterization that is unmistakably Russian. This volume also includes Grandmother's Little Hut, an unfinished play that represents Platonov's later, gentler work UR - https://doi.org/10.7312/plat18128 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780231543538 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780231543538/original ER -
