We pick up where we left off last week, taking a look at some of the best of Russia's recent publications:


CLASSIC FOREIGN LITERATURE. Ann Radcliffe's gothic novel "The Mysteries of Udolfo" was recently published by the Amex private publishing house. The two hardcover volumes are selling for 5,000 rubles and up. Volume six of Marcel Proust's "Remembrances of Things Past," translated into Russian for the first time by the Kruz private printers, is on sale for 2,000 rubles.
