Gaito Gazdanov (1903–1971) was a major writer of the Russian diaspora, ranked alongside Vladimir Nabokov and compared to Marcel Proust and Ivan Bunin by his contemporaries, who admired the musicality of his prose, poetry, and the power of his language. After the Revolution, at the age of just sixteen, Gazdanov joined the White movement and was subsequently forced to leave Russia forever, sharing the fate of many Russian émigrés. He spent most of his life in Paris and, already a renowned writer, continued to work as a night taxi driver for many years. In 1953, he became a correspondent and then editor of Radio Liberty.

This edition includes the most significant works of Gaito Gazdanov: "Evening at Claire's", the first novel that brought the author fame and opened the doors of leading literary magazines for him, as well as the novels "Night Roads", "The Ghost of Alexander Wolf", "The Return of Buddha", and selected stories written at different times in his life.
