Description

Not By Bread Alone by Vladimir Dudintsev. Translated from the Russian by DR. Edith Bone. 'Not by Bread Alone was a 1956 novel by the Soviet author Vladimir Dudintsev. The novel, published in installments in the journal Novy Mir, was a sensation in the USSR. The tale of an engineer who is opposed by bureaucrats in seeking to implement his invention came to be a literary symbol of the Khrushchev Thaw. An inventor named Lopatkin struggles against entrenched bureaucracy and self-servers in an attempt to help the Soviet pipe industry. He wins his personal battle, but the "invisible empire" of the bureaucracy remains intact and Lopatkin knows that a long struggle still lies ahead.' The book has light to medium general wear with some stains on the covers and the inside paste-down page has been roughly removed but the book remains tight and bright.
