Item description from seller

Sequel to a Legend Anatoly Kuznetsov Published by FOREIGN LANGUAGES PUBLISHING HOUSE, 1959 Rare Russian published paperback , in English. with the stamp 'SOCIETY OF CULTURAL RELATIONS- USA-USSR" Los Angeles. "Regarding his novella entitled Sequel to a Legend. Kuznetsov described his first experience with publishers as follows: I wrote the novella 'Sequel to a Legend' and offered it to Yunost magazine. It tells the story of a young man, who came to work in Siberia with a solid youthful belief in something better, in some ultimate good, despite all the hardships and poverty. The Yunost editors liked the novella very much but said they couldn't publish it: the censors wouldn't allow it, the magazine would be closed, and I would be arrested or, in the worst case, barred from literature for life. Above all, Western propagandists might pick up this story and run with it: "See, this is proof of how terrible life in the Soviet Union really is!" Experienced writers told me that the novella could be saved, that at least a part of it must be brought to the readers' attention, that they would know what came from the heart and what I had to write for form's sake, and that I should add some optimistic episodes. For a long time my novella gathered dust without any hope of being published, but eventually I forced myself to add some optimistic episodes, which contrasted so sharply with the overall style and were so outrageously cheerful that no reader would take them seriously The novella was turned down, but eventually was published in a heavily censored form and without the author's approval. It was this version that earned him a countrywide fame." "VERY GOOD, SOME COVER WEAR, INSIDE STAMS, CLEAN AND TIGHT".
