Bücher von Edith Rogovin Frankel

Originally published in 1981, this book is an examination of the politics of literary publishing in the Soviet Union, and in particular during the period after Stalin's death, in the 1950s. Dr Frankel focuses on the leading literary journal of the 1950s, Novy Mir, between whose covers so much important literary work first appeared.

In the 1970s, Frankel interviewed a number of individuals shortly after they had left the Soviet Union for Israel and the United States. Twenty-five years later, Frankel interviews them again. Their experiences illuminate the complex history of Soviet immigrants and symbolize the universal tale of anyone who has ever emigrated.
