YOGI AND COMMISSAR
Arthur Koestler divided this volume into three "Wanderings", "Complaints", "Investigations". In the first two parts he collected his most important essays on the literature, politics and problems of our time. The essays, representing a period of three years, were first published on such varied forms as Horizon, Harper's, Tribune, Observer, and others. The third part, "Investigations", was specifically written for this volume and was not previously published. It includes a well documented overview of the Soviet experiment and the conclusions that can be drawn from it. The value of these conclusions by such a distinguished writer of the Left can hardly be denied.
