Full Text of Boris Akunin's Novels Online

I wanted to bring to the attention of my reader an official web-site of Boris Akunin. According to Wikipedia, "Boris Akunin (Russian: Борис Акунин) is the pen name of Grigory Shalvovich Chkhartishvili (Russian: Григорий Шалвович Чхартишвили; Georgian: გრიგოლ ჩხარტიშვილი) (born May 20, 1956), a Russian writer. He is an essayist, literary translator and writer of detective fiction".

The author's books have been translated in more than 15 languages.

I have acquired various books by Boris Akunin for our faculty, students and library card holders. You can search them in the UCLA Library Catalog.

The review of the novel is published by the Guardian and it can be accessed here.
