About This Item
Bayreuth: Printed by Lorenz Ellwanger, 1946. Original wrappers. Dimensions: 20.7 Ã 15 cm. 60 pages. Text in Russian. With the printed censorship note, "Approved by UNRRA. Team 186." There is minor wear and fading to the wrappers and some chipping on the spine, but it is still in very good condition for a book meant to be heavily used.<br /> <br /> A well-known literary work written in 1872 and first published in the No.1 January 1873 issue of The Russian Messenger. The story concerns a group of Old Believers whose revered icon of an angel is confiscated by officials and sealed with wax.<br /> <br /> This book was published by the Russian refugees and printed in a very small run to be distributed in post-war Germany's Displaced Persons (DP) camps. Due to difficult circumstances in those camps, including a lack of resources and military censorship, such publications are a testament to the resilience and determination of the displaced persons community during this challenging time in history.
