White Buffalo is a collection of short lyrical stories centered around the aesthetics in music and the arts.

The stories are neither amorphic nor theoretical but rather anchored in the lives of each individual protagonist. Among the titles: The Poet Speaks, Song for a Dream, Istukans, Caruso’s Soul, Vasya and Orna, Oberon’s Horn, Mystery of the House, Syrinx, and The Wonder of Opus 101.

One of the most captivating stories describes the resistance of a piano to its master after it felt abused, misused and betrayed.

Haimovsky’s enchanting collection of memorable stories are a pleasure to read and reread.

Gregory Haimovsky was a professor of piano, chamber music, and aesthetics of performance at New York University, and founded the NYU Chamber Music Society.

  • Final Respects - Abdi-Jamil Nurpeisov

    Final Respects

    Abdi-Jamil Nurpeisov

    We, the Kazakhs…
    Western readers know little about this people or their vast country, the world’s ninth largest, although the Kazakhs have seen much of human history. From their roots as traders and nomadic herders during the Silk Road period, to their modern experience with atomic bomb testing and space-age triumph, the history of Kazakh culture remains relatively unexplored in the Western world.

    Even less known is author Abdi-Jamil Nurpeisov, venerated sage of Kazakh and Russian literature, though his books have been published in translation worldwide. Nurpeisov exposes Kazakh life to Western readers as Tolstoy did with Russians, and Marquez, Colombians.

  • Grigory Rasputin - My Pilgrimage to Jerusalem

    My Pilgrimage to Jerusalem (bilingual)

    Grigory Rasputin

    Hundreds of books have been written about Rasputin, but very few people know that Rasputin himself authored a book. My Pilgrimage to Jerusalem was written as a gift for Tsar Nicholas II in 1915, in a print run of only 50 copies.

    There are few figures in history to whom so much research has been devoted; and about whom so much media, including biographies, memoirs, novels, films and even an opera, have been created, than the Siberian “wise man” Grigory Rasputin (1869-1916).
