About this Item

Frankfurt: Posev, [1960-s]. In publisher's wrappers. 40 pp. 21,5x15 cm. Lifetime edition of the story. A rare edition, almost never found on sale. An incriminating story about the terrible decline of the Russian village, which appeared on the pages of the Neva magazine (1963), prompted the Soviet government to use a new method of dealing with dissent. In order to prevent widespread speculation among the people about a work written not from party positions, especially dangerous, it should not be completely hushed up. It is necessary to write about it once, that it was written from a completely party position. Then people probably won t be interested in him. Leningrad prose writer Fyodor Aleksandrovich Abramov (1920-1983), a prominent representative of Soviet village prose, wrote about the contemporary state of affairs in the country: about the miserable existence of half the population and the stagnant policies of the authorities. The story "Around and Around" was compared with the story of A.I. Solzhenitsyn "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.". Seller Inventory # 2621
