Gaito Gazdanov (1903-1971) was the most prominent writer of the Russian diaspora, whom his contemporaries placed on par with Vladimir Nabokov and compared to Marcel Proust and Ivan Bunin, admiring the musicality of his prose, its poetic nature, and the strength of his language. After the revolution, at the age of not quite sixteen, Gazdanov joined the White movement and was subsequently forced to leave Russia forever, sharing the fate of many Russian emigrants. He spent most of his life in Paris and, already a renowned writer, continued to work as a night taxi driver for many years. In 1953, he became a correspondent and later an editor for 'Radio Liberty'. This edition includes the most significant works of Gaito Gazdanov: 'An Evening with Claire', his first novel that brought him fame and opened the doors to leading literary journals, as well as the novels 'Night Roads', 'The Phantom of Alexander Wolf', 'The Return of Buddha', and selected stories written throughout different periods of his life.
