2 standalone books

Andrei Platonovich Klimentov, known by the pen name Andrei Platonov, was a Soviet Russian novelist, short story writer, philosopher, playwright, and poet who lived from 1899 to 1951. Although he regarded himself as a communist, his principal works remained unpublished in his lifetime because of their skeptical attitude toward collectivization of agriculture (1929-1940) and other Stalinist policies, and their experimental, avant-garde form infused with existentialism.
