BOOKS ON SOVIET RUSSIA, 1917-1942 by Philip Grierson, M.A. Excerpt from Preface THIS book represents the first attempt to compile a list of books and pamphlets on post-revolutionary Russia that have been published in Great Britain. The period that it covers is the twenty-five years between February 1917 and the end of June 1942. But a mere list of names and titles, while it might be of value to a fairly restricted class of librarians and booksellers, would be of little use to the general public, and there is at present a serious need for some kind of guide to the enormous and very varied literature in existence on the Soviet Union. I have therefore tried to make the bibliography acceptable to a wider public by including in it a certain number of works — chiefly collections of documents and personal memoirs — published outside Great Britain, mainly in the United States or in the Soviet Union and occasionally in languages other than English, and by adding to each item a note on its character and the point of view from which it is written. In both these features the personal factor is involved, and it is in them that I shall probably lay myself most open to criticism. . . Abridged Contents PREFACE LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS I.

SOME NOVELS ABOUT SOVIET RUSSIA INDEX ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.
