Hoof Beats receives the 2024 Kayden Book Award

Hoof Beats has been selected as the 2024 recipient of the Eugene M. Kayden Book Award from the University of Colorado-Boulder.

From the award page: Eugene M. Kayden was born in Russia in 1886. He came to the United States at the age of sixteen, enrolled at UCB in 1908, and graduated in 1912 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics. In order to improve his English while he was attending UCB, Kayden worked on translating Russian plays, poems, and other literary works into English. Kayden continued with the advanced study of economics at Princeton and Harvard and embarked on a distinguished career as a scholar and teacher of economics, serving on the faculty of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, from 1923-1955.

Professor Kayden focused his scholarly pursuits on literature and economics. He held two convictions that were fundamental to his achievements as a translator. He believed that the best way to understand Russia was through her literature, and that cultural understanding was basic to world peace.

The $5000 award is given annually to a book representing excellence in history and the arts. The award funds will be used to organize a symposium, connecting the author with experts and with members of the community and public.

Preorder your copy today - and looking forward to seeing some of you at the symposium!
