sorry, thought mistress of death and lover of death must be the same book, but obviously not! should have done my research! Barbara Osgood 00:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Were the decorator and the jack of spades originally both published in russian together as special assignments, or was this just for the english translation?

No, they were originally published together [1]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.141.75.52 (talk) 01:37, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Akunin is a Russian writer, not Georgian. Lived only two first years of his life in Georgia, never wrote in Georgian, likely has no Georgian citizenship. I changed that —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.16.161.89 (talk) 20:16, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The nationality in Wikipedia regards citizenship, not ethnicity. In case a person's ethnicity is not that of country he lives in, we should add "of @ descent". In case of writers, the language is also a major factor.Garret Beaumain (talk) 21:32, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Order

It's extremely annoying that the books are not listed in the order in which they were published. 72.229.42.246 (talk) 19:36, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of English translations

A list of Akunin books available in English would be very helpful. For a start, the Erast Fandorin site has a list of the Fandorin books in English (in the NOVELS section, not under TRANSLATIONS). Zipzip50 (talk) 04:36, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cannot supply this, but especially would like to know if Bellona available in English.Crawiki (talk) 17:40, 12 January 2018 (UTC) Crawiki (talk) 17:40, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
