In view of the fact that many of the best living Russian writers are now resident outside their own country, it was recently decided to launch a quarterly journal to which they could all contribute, and which would open a dialogue between them and the literary figures in the West interested in the problems of Eastern Europe. Such was the success of the first few Russian numbers rhat publisheras in many foreign countries have been bring out editions in other languages. This book, which draws on the first two Russian volumes, includes valuable contributions from the most famous 'starts' of Russian's 'third emigration' and its publication is guaranteed to be an event of major political importance. There is the historical controversy between Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Andrei Sakharov, who has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize; a memorable article by Abram Terz (Andrei Sinyavsky) on the literary process in Russia; a novella by Vladimir Maramzin; and poems by Jospeh Brodsky, widely accepted as Russia's most talented living poet, and by Alexander Galich, whose work is played in song form by millions of Russians on their tape recorders. This is the only first Kontinent which we shall publish; the Russian editors continue to receive a mass of valuable literary work, which will appear in subsequent volumes. 180 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
