Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Contemporary Russian Novelists
The principal aim of this book is to give the reader a good general knowledge of Russian literature as it is to - day. The author, Serge Persky, has subordinated purely critical mate rial, because he wants his readers to form their own judgments and criticize for themselves. The element of literary criticism is not, how ever, by any means entirely lacking.
In the original text, there is a thorough and exhaustive treatment of the great prophet of Russian literature Tolstoy but the translator has deemed it wise to omit this essay, because so much has recently been written about this great man.
