Does anyone know where I might find the text online for "Voskreschenie slova" by literary theorist Viktor Shklovsky?

Hi!

I was wondering how to say "Laughter in the Dark" as in the literal translation into Russian? Vladimir Nabokov's book was titled Камера Обскура but I don't think that means 'Laughter in the Dark'. Is is something like Смех в темноте? Does that make sense?

Thank you =D

I'm having trouble translating a few phrases. I would appreciate any help. The phrases in bold in particular are what I need help with. I've copied my attempts at translation here. Thanks!

1. Я помню ее всю в белизне –– голых плеч, какого–то ватерпуфа, пудры –– перед зеркалом в ее уборной в театре –– пока пели звонки под потолком и красная лампочка, мигая, звала ее идти на сцену.

I remember her all in white – bare shoulders, (in a little raincoat?), powdered – in front of a mirror in her dressing room in the theater – as the bells on the ceiling sang out and a red light bulb, blinking, called her to go on stage.


2. Она умерла, привезенная «скорой помощью» в больницу, от утраты крови. Похоронили ее, так сказать, в полицейском порядке, но одевала ее для гроба балерина Гельцер.

Having been brought to the hospital in an ambulance, she died from a loss of blood. They buried her, so to speak, (in the police fashion?), but the ballerina Geltser dressed her for the casket.


3. Что это такое все же – мое появление в мире, мое сушествование в нем и необходимость из него уйти? Подумать, в миллионах лет и пространств существует хрусталик и моей жизни.

What is all of this anyway – my appearance on earth, my existence on it and the necessity to leave it? To think, in millions of years and places there is (???)
