We present to readers the legendary four-volume collection of prose by Sergei Dovlatov. The first three volumes were published in 1993; in 1996, another volume appeared entitled “The Little-Known Dovlatov.” Especially for this edition, all texts have been re-verified and changed taking into account the latest author's edits. This collection of works, which undoubtedly can be called a standard edition, will be a great gift for all fans of the work of Sergei Dovlatov. The first volume includes the works “Zone”, “Compromise” and “Reserve”.
