About This Item
New York: E. P. Dutton & Co, 1957. The First American edition. 8vo, publisher's original yellow cloth over black boards, lettered in red on spine and cover. 512 pp. A very good and clean copy. FIRST EDITION. ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE USSR IN INSTALLMENTS. Soviet novelist Dudintsev created a sensation when his book was originally read in installments in the journal Novy Mir. The tale of an engineer who is opposed by bureaucrats in seeking to implement his invention came to be a literary symbol of the Khrushchev Thaw. 'The public gave the novel an overwhelmingly positive reception. The issues of Novy Mir containing the novel sold out within hours. Subscribers to the journal were besieged with demand for their copies. Readers waited months to be allowed to borrow a copy from a library.
Initially, official reaction, as expressed in Pravda and other periodicals, reflected reserved praise for Dudintsev's book. Toward the end of 1956, official organs began to attack the author and his book. However, this did not change the position of the readers, who continued to praise the novel and compared its detractors to the less savory characters in it.' Kozlov, Naming the Social Evil...
The book was made into a movie in 2005.
