1944HIRU00006New York & London: Harper & Brothers 1944 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Blue cloth red titles on spine vii 269 1 pp. Extremities rubbed. DJ has two 2 cm tears other small chips & tears; in Brodart archival cover. The author Russian-born wife of American journalist Louis Fischer and herself a gifted translator and interpreter writes about her personal experiences living in the Soviet Union during 1921 and 1927-39. As a personal memoir it hardly mentions the disastrous famines first under Lenin and in the 1930s under Stalin. However while impressed by attempts at improving health care and housing and providing mass education for the first time in Russian history she was not blind to the crimes and absurdities of Communist government and particularly its frequent reversals of policy and criminalization of those who had most loyally implemented the previous party line. It is especially enlightening for its view of everyday life in Moscow during the 1930s even if it is the life of a privileged foreigner. Shipping weight 2 lbs. First Edition. . VG/VG-. 21 X 13½ cm.
