Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Arthur Holitscher's book "Three Months in Soviet Russia (1921)" written just over a century ago offers a rare glimpse into the formative years of the Soviet Union seen through the eyes of a journalist traveler who created a new form of travelogue called "political-literary journalism". The people, places and things are brought to life through the vignettes that sketch monumental suffering of a nation at war together with an idealism that promised a better tomorrow. The story is all too human. This story, never translated into English, is an important contribution to anyone wishing to understand the Soviet Union and Russia today. The edition includes two new translations of Alexander Blok's famous poems, "The Ballad of The Twelve" (1918) written about the Russian Revolution and "On Pushkin House" (1921), his last poem.
