About This Book
Excerpt from Russian Essays and StoriesBook are reprinted for the greater part from the Morning F051, by whose kind per mission I have been allowed to republish them here. My thanks are also due to the Editor of the Oxfom'cma' caméridgerew'ew for permission to republish the article on Andreev's Lzfi of Man and to the Editor of that brilliant but too short-lived periodical the Ne Plus U/tm (pub lished at Eton), for allowing me to make use of a story called The Amorphists, which appeared in its columns. My thanks are due to Mr. H. Belloc, who kindly read the proofs of this book for me.
