Lettered in dark blue on the front cover. From the Dust Jacket: "KUZNETSK LAND, first published in 1948, is the first major work by the Soviet author Alexander Voloshin. Its action takes place in the Kuznetek coal basin in the period between 1945 and 1947. The Kuznetsk basin was developed in Western Siberia during the first five-year plan and is now an important iron and steel area and cultural centre. The novel's hero, Rogov, an ex-captain of the guards and an engineer in civilian life, returns from the front to the Kuzbas to start life anew at one of the mines there. The story unfolds against the background of life in a Soviet mining town. It is peopled with live, flesh-and-blood human beings, Soviet men and women whose lives are ennobled by the part they play in combating all that is old and hidebound and promoting all that is new and progressive. These efforts of the majority are resisted by a few moral weaklings whose minds are burdened by survivals of the past, but who are nevertheless powerless to hold back the march of progress, to halt the miners' advance to higher levels of mining technique." A volume from the LIBRARY OF SELECTED SOVIET LITERATURE series.. First Edition in English. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/VG jacket (lightly rubbed). 8vo. 440pp.
