Dear List,
One of my students would like to work on the emigre Russian writer Nikolai Baikov (1872-1958), who lived in Kharbin, Manchuria, and died in Australia. Although he is almost forgotten now, he once was a very popular writer in Japan and one of his novels, “Velikii Van,” became a bestselling book in Japanese translation and was called “The Jungle Book of Manchuria”.
Little is known, however, about his biography. I wonder if there are any materials about him housed in libraries, etc. , or his relatives and offsprings who could help us in our research. I ‘d appreciate very much any information.
