Sounds good. Any versions/translations to be aware of?

Hmmm... perhaps. Didn't even check until now.

The version I read and liked was translated by Michael Glenny and published in paperback in the early 70s.

Another version I have (picked up at a library booksale because the Glenny is deteriorating and old) is from 1989 and translated by H.T. Willetts. It is longer as it has additional narrative written/added after AS had been expelled from Russia, dealing more with revolutionary activities before the war. I don't vouch for this version as I haven't read it.
