Adventure Narratives in the Early Soviet Union

The book proposes a critical historical reconstruction of early Soviet adventure-craze and its lasting popularity in socialist realism. It also offers innovative theoretical propositions for a philological analysis of adventure fiction that arises from this unique historical constellation.
