Abstract

en_US Twelve stories, the first including three parts, as the T of C at the end of this 143-page book shows. Buchfreund gives "um 1948" as the date. I find no date in the book itself, though the verso of the title-page speaks of the "Sowjetischen Militarverwaltung in Deutschland." I am delighted to have found a book published in those difficult times in that difficult place! The "Einführung" begins in thoroughly communist fashion by painting a picture of Tsarist repression of free expression in the mid 1800s and praising Saltykow's courage. The monochrome illustrations -- about two to a story -- alternate between blue and black. This time I enjoyed "Der Überweise Stichling" (100-108). This all too clever stickleback figured out a way to get through life -- trembling -- by living alone in a shelter just big enough for him. He lasted over 100 years but then realized that he had done nothing and known no one. None of the other fish of his kind cared about him. At last he stuck his nose out of his shelter. No one knows what happened then. How would they? No predator fish is going to boast of eating a stickleback like that!
