About This Item
U.S.A: Frederick Ungar Publishing, 1971. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Type: Hard Back Hardcover Book in Very Good Condition with a Good Dust Jacket. Halftone portraits of 96 writers are interspersed in the text. Translated from the German, based on a translation by Vladimir Nekrasoff. This volume is the first English edition of a reference book published in East Germany (German Democratic Republic) and dealing with Soviet literature and with Russian writing before 1918. The approach is from the viewpoint of "official" criticism oriented to the school of socialist realism. The evaluation of such authors as Boris Pasternak and Boris Pilnyak is different from that of the Western critic. Note that the several literatures in existence for many centuries before the establishment of the Soviet Union are included here as Soviet literature. The literatures of the fifteen republics that comprised the U.S.S.R. and more than 500 individual writers or anonymous titles are discussed. There are also entries on such well-known writers as Chekhov, Gogol, Gorki, Pushkin, Lev Tolstoi, and Solzhenitzyn. 482 pages. 8.5 x 5.75 inches. 1971. Frederick Ungar Publishing, USA
