DESCRIPTION - These are classic stories of a fresh, vital, and unvulgarized people. They are richly human, free from political cant and nationality. Like Sputnik, this collection shows that there is more going on in Russia than is revealed by the façade of Communist propaganda. All these stories have been written in the last twenty years but you will find here no drab, state-inspired fiction, There are stories of war, of collective farm life, of the distant and exotic eastern provinces, of marvelously strong peasants and marvelously confused petty bureaucrats. Many of them are psychological studies of great strength and subtlety. With an intimacy that no visitor could possibly acquire, we see a whole parade of characters, some funny, some tragic, working out the problems that beset humankind. These are not the cardboard propaganda figures that are turned out for export, these are real people. There is humor and a healthy enjoyment of life, even in its grimmer aspects. The writing itself is in the tradition of the great Russian literature which is part of our English culture. The freshness and straightforwardness spring up like green shoots, Russian to be sure, but with their roots deep in time and the human heart.
