With the help from my classmate A.K., I scanned and performed the OCR of an English translation of a wonderful book,
'Cynics', by Anatol Marienhoff.
This is quite a rare edition. I am sure it cannot be found anywhere else on the web. I recommend this book for the following reasons:
1. It is quite short.
2. It is a great snapshot of a very interesting historical period — shortly after the revolution of 1917.
From reading this book, you will get a good feeling of what the young Soviet country looked like.
3. Among other things, it is probably my favourite love story of all times :)
Worth reading, really.
