Dzhan, written in 1935 by Andrei Platonov, is presented in this complete edition with all the alternative endings that the author was forced to write. This novel is an allegory of socialism and an extreme literary exercise, showing an unforgettable human altarpiece. Platonov, a unique writer with an unusual use of language, offers a surprising and evocative work that continues to resonate almost a century later.
Andrei Platonovich Platonov was a Soviet Russian novelist, short story writer, philosopher, playwright, and poet. Although Platonov regarded himself as a communist, his principal works were banned until thirty years after his death because of their skeptical attitude toward collectivization of agriculture (1929–1940) and other Stalinist policies, as well as for their experimental, avant-garde form infused with existentialism which was not in line with the dominant socialist realism doctrine. His famous works include the novels The Foundation Pit (1930), Soul (1935) and Chevengur (1928).
