About This Item
New York: Frederick A. Praeger 1957, 1st printing. (Hardcover) Very good plus in very good plus dust jacket. 197pp. The dust jacket is lightly rubbed and edgeworn. "If asked to describe Howard Fast's first book after his break with the Communist Party, one could call it simply a great writer's coming to grips with the basic contradiction in the Communist system - the contradiction between mind and dogma. More specifically, this book juxtaposes the creative artist's constant drive toward truth, justice and beauty, and the hollow, rigid, 'political' incantations of the movement's cultural high priests". Locale: Soviet Union; United States. (Ideas, Communism, Communist Party, Government, Ideas, Politics, Writers, Writing).
