Burov, A. P. Singer of Foreign Sad. In Russian (ask us if in doubt)/Burov, A. P. Pevets zarubezhnoy pechali. His career began with the theatre. More than 20 plays by Burov (then writing under his real surname Bord-Vozdov), original or adapted by him, were published throughout Russia, from St. Petersburg to the remote province. After the revolution, the playwright Bord-Vozdov disappeared, replaced by the writer Burov, an emigrant who had begun a new life. Critics welcomed Burovs first book There was land. Osip Dymov wrote a foreword to it, the Amphitheatre called it smart, serious, loyal. Adamovich found Burovs resemblance to the celebrated, beloved writer of emigration Shmelev, even Bunin himself, so miserly to praise: Young man, you. SKUalb72ad16fd89340858.
