Lavrenyov Boris. The forty first

Publication info not specified. — 63 p.Boris Lavrenyov’s name is closely bound up with the early days of Soviet literature and the Soviet theatre: He put it this way—“my literary birth took place after the revolution”. His play The Break-Up was first produced in 1927 and today is still in the repertoire of the Moscow Art Theatre and many other Soviet theatres. Lavrenyov (1891-1959) is a dramatic writer; this is especially true of his stories, long and short, which are filled with the heroic romanticism of the revolutionary epoch. The Forty First is one of his best-known tales.
