Veniamin Kaverin is remembered for writing that changed what came after it.
The record lists Veniamin Kaverin as Russian-Soviet writer and memoirist (1902-1989).
Veniamin Kaverin was born at Pskov in 1902. His recorded nationality is Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic. He was educated at Saint Petersburg State University.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, literary form itself came under argument, and the certainties of the realist novel were dismantled.
He worked as writer, novelist and screenwriter.
The writing is recorded in Russian.
His work is classed as short novel, fairy tale and opinion journalism.
Reputation in letters is unusually volatile: writers are forgotten for a generation and then recovered by one.
The honours record reads: Stalin Prize, 2nd degree, Order of Lenin, Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd class and Order of the Red Banner of Labour.
That the work was written from Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic matters: language, censorship and the reach of a publishing industry decide which books travel and which stay local.
Veniamin Kaverin died in 1989, aged 87. The books remain, which is the only durable form a writing life takes.
