Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: No dust jacket present. 317, [3] pages. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. To Ruth & Gordon Lewis - my pious friends and drunken companions of many many years standing. Nicholas Wreden. Cover has some wear and soiling. Rear board weak and has been strengthened with…glue. The title of this book is somewhat misleading. It does not deal much with the author's Americanization, but offers an account of his personal experience in his native country during the first three years of the revolution. Nicholas Wreden was was born on November 30, 1901 in Saint St. Petersburg, Russia (and died in 1955) and was a noted translator and a Russian editors Member of the American Booksellers Association (president 1942-1943). In 1935, Wreden published his memoir, describing his journey from a middle-class, patriotic identity in late Imperial Russia though his flight from the Revolution and reinvention as an American citizen. Yet in the next twenty years, Wreden would live an impactful life - as a highly regarded translator from Russian and as an editor and a publishing executive (for Dutton and Little, Brown) commissioning both Russian and American literature. He helped choose the books selected for reading by US troops (the Armed Services Editions distributed during the Second World War) as well as determining the Russian-language literature available to America's Russian diaspora through his involvement with the Chekhov Publishing House. His double role as a translator and as an editor was significant in shaping our conception of what Russian literature means today. Autobiography of a Russian midshipman during the Russian Revolution and his involvement with the White Russian resistance. He fought with Mark V tanks with British "advisors". During the First World War author entered the Naval Cadet Corps. Petrograd in wartime and during the February revolution. He traveled to Sevastopol in 1917 for naval practice. He witnessed the collapse of discipline in the fleet and returned to Petrograd in October 1917. He became Involved with the counter-revolutionary military organization and escaped to Finland. He performed military service in the North-Western Army (armored train and tanks). After the liquidation of that army he traveled to Europe aboard the trawler Kitoboi and commenced his life in exile. First Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing.
