SOME PRESS NOTICES OF

SANINE

“It has a treble interest.  It discusses sex-problems with unusual candour … it gives a vivid picture of Russian life … and it reflects the welter of thoughts and aspirations which are common to the whole contemporary Western world.”

New STATESMAN.

“A book which deals with powerful human passions in no lethargic way.  It may horrify by its brutality, and its assault on ordinary morality may well be considered startling:  yet it counts for something that M. Artzibashef does not display the common fear of life.”

STANDARD.

“It is of the greatest interest psychologically, as an outstanding product of a despairing epoch in Russian history.”

Daily CHRONICLE.

“The artistry of the novel, brutal, direct, detached, courageous, desperately poignant, is not to be disputed.”

EVENING standard.

 “The strength of the book is undeniable”

Sunday times.

“This is a strong and fascinating story depicting the unfettered life of a young Russian ... the background of society and Russian scenery is excellent.”
