The first Russian book edition of John Cheever's works.

It features nine stories : 'The Pot of Gold', 'The Season of Divorce', 'O City of Broken Dreams', 'The Superintendent', 'Torch Song', 'Christmas is a Sad Season for the Poor', 'The Children', 'The Sutton Place Story', and 'The Enormous Radio'.
It's worth noting that Korney Chukovsky, a Russian poet, writer, and critic, penned the foreword. He had the privilege of meeting John Cheever during the latter's visit to Moscow in 1964 and maintained correspondence with him for a period of time.
The book design was crafted by Viktor Vakidin (1911-1991), a distinguished graphic artist and painter known for his adherence to the 'austere style'. Vakidin received his education at VKhUTEMAS-VKhTEIN in Leningrad and collaborated with Vladimir Favorsky, a prominent figure in Russian graphic art and book design of the 20th century. Additionally, he took practical photography lessons from Aleksander Rodchenko.
