Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. This is "Adam International Review", Volume 43, Nos. 437-439, Issued in 1981. The issue is noteworthy for having "Arguments about Dostoevsky" a two act play by Kiev-born, Jewish author Friedrich Gorenshtein, who was the screenwriter for the great Russian science fiction film "Solaris" (based on the book of the same title by Stanislav Lem); Gorenshtein was also the author of the Important novelette, "Traveling Companions" - a part of the larger Babii Iar 'Ravine Literature'). This would be the first appearance of this play, at least in an English translation. Also in this issue is a brief piece in which Marcel Proust, Paul Claudel, and André Gide offer opinions on "Ce Russe sublime" . After this is an article by Leonard Shapiro titled "A Story of Incompatibility : Dostoevsky and Turgenev". Next, Jean Mambrino offers a poem titled "Adam"; David Magarshack discusses the problems of "translating from the Russian" (this is a posthumous piece); and Roger Cardinal shares a poem , "Winter to Me". The issue ends, as usual, with "Views and Reviews " : These are "Dostoevskii , prophet manque?", by Sergei Hackel; "Rozanov and Dostoevsky", by Alexander Piatogorsky; "Has the Raw Youth Grown Up?", by Zinovy Zinik; and finally, "A Roumanian Connection", by Virgil Cândea. You will note that an error was made by the printer in setting up the Table of Contents : the Poem by Jean Mambrino is incorrectly added at the end of the Contents as being on page 74 (which doesn't exist - the issue ends with unpaginated page 73, printed on the inside of the rear cover). Someone has, in pencil, xed it out and indicated where the poem is properly placed.
