About This Item

An interesting memento of the pro-Soviet sympathies in the Czech interwar Republic, the present volume contains five short satirical plays, by Grigorii Gradov, Aleksandr Chikardov, Pavel Ial'tsev, and Aleksei Iroshnikov (based on Chekhov). With a short preface by the editor. The rights to the translations were apparently held by a Czech amateur workers' theater in Prague Karlín, and another publisher is cited as the Svaz dělnických divadelních ochotníků československých (Union of Czechoslovak Amateur Worker's Theatres).

Scarce; as of January 2024, KVK and OCLC only show the copy at the Czech National Library.
