Otherwise a very good clean copy.<br /> <br /> First Russian edition. First book by Steinbeck in Russian.<br /> <br /> Although the book was banned shortly in Ireland and few American towns in schools and libraries it was for obvious reasons<br /> never banned in Soviet Union. It was important for Soviet authorities to monitor what was published in the West. Unfortunately for them it was a hard task to find anything suitable for their purposes - a high standard bright foreign fiction with correct ideology. That is why Grapes of Wrath was a definite bombshell not only in America but even more so in Soviet Union. It made Steinbeck famous in a day. Starting in August of 1939 such newspapers as Pradva Ogonyok Literary Newspaper printed short fragments from Grapes of Wrath. Soviet newspapers made it famous even before it was fully published. For example Izvestiya from November 17th 1939 with an article titled "Grapes of Wrath - banned in USA" about a campaign against the book across America: ".because it reflects the hard<br /> situation and conditions in which farmers live in California". Soviet anticapitalist interpretation was obvious and announced instantly in many reviews e.g. in one of these reviews was said the author "leads us to a logical way out - a revolution freeing lower classes from exploitation". Soviet periodicals clearly showed ideological and political bias typical for the Soviet assessment and interpretation of the novel as an example of proletarian and anti-capitalist American literature. After the full translation was published in 1940 Steinbeck received many letters from Soviet editors and officials thanking him for writing this novel and telling him about thousands of new fans.<br /> <br /> In 1948 USSR bought rights for Grapes of Wrath film 1940 to demonstrate the Soviet viewer all "ulcers and vices" of American capitalism but in just a few days of the showing the film was cancelled because people noticed that a broke farmer was able to buy a used truck.<br /> <br /> In 1963 Steinbeck came to Russia for the second time his first visit he described in his book A Russian Journal published in 1948. At one of the unofficial meetings at Russian poet Evtushenko's apartment he met a Siberian driver Evtushenko's uncle Andrey with whom he spent almost the entire evening in a conversation. Apparently the driver knew Grapes of Wrath very well which maid Steinbeck ecstatic: "You made my day Andrew! I would never thought truck drivers from Siberia would read my books!"<br /> <br /> WorldCat locates four copies. Gosizdat unknown

06575New York: The Viking Press 1947. A Cross-Section of Postwar America<br /> Steinbeck's Roadside Microcosm in Uncommon Condition<br /> <br /> STEINBECK John. The Wayward Bus. New York: The Viking Press 1947.<br /> <br /> First edition first issue. Octavo 7 15/16 x 5 1/4 inches; 198 x 133 mm. viii 1-2 3-312 pp.<br /> <br /> Publisher's original orange cloth over boards front cover with the outline of a bus stamped in blind and lettered in gilt spine lettered in gilt. Minor rubbing to lower edge with light creasing to spine ends. A near fine copy in an excellent dust jacket with only the slightest rubbing at extremities.<br /> <br /> A sharp and attractive example of Steinbeck's first novel following the enormous success of The Grapes of Wrath and Cannery Row The Wayward Bus presents a tightly observed cross-section of American life. Set aboard a dilapidated bus traveling through rural California the narrative brings together a disparate group of passengers - each representing different social types - whose interactions unfold with Steinbeck's characteristic blend of psychological insight and moral inquiry.<br /> <br /> Less overtly political than some of his earlier works the novel instead offers a more intimate almost theatrical study of character often compared to a stage play in its unity of setting and time. <br /> <br /> Goldstone & Payne A17a.
