Berlin, five stately volumes, the “Collected Novels of Upton Sinclair.”
From Gossizdat, the State Publishing House of Moscow, we have a list of
various editions of our books which have been issued in Soviet Russia;
counting, not new printings, but separate publications under different
titles, there is a total of sixty-nine. Michael Gold, recently returned
from Russia, writes: “The sort of people who in America know Charlie
Chaplin and Jackie Coogan, in Russia know Upton Sinclair.” We are
advised by the Japanese translator of “The Jungle” that the book has
just been issued, but the government compelled the publisher to recall
all copies, and cut out the last chapters, dealing with Socialism. The
Japanese translation of “Mammonart” is about to appear. From Warsaw
comes an offer from a large publishing house to issue twenty of our
books in a cheap library, at .95 zloty per volume, about thirteen cents
American. A Czechish publisher applies for all books not hitherto
issued. We have a review of “Mammonart” which was broadcasted from the
radio station of the Labour Party of Australia; also a letter from a
Ukrainian writer, telling how our plays are being acted there, and
our novels made into movies. We have established book-store agencies
in London, India and South Africa, and we learn that readers are
circulating our books in Java, Honduras, and Iceland. We await returns
from the U. S. A.
