The circumstances under
which this novel was written
are so remarkable as to OBJ
scure its intrinsic excellence.
Hermann Field, the brother
of Noel Field, and Stanislaw
Mierzenski, q Polish journal
list, were imprisoned together
in Warsaw for five years.
They undertook to write a
book in order to keep their
sanity.
No matter what the con-
ditions Of its writing, it is an
extraordinarily gripping
study of the peasant mind.
Its central figure is Leon
Wolney. who has struggled up
from the servant class to be-
come. through wartime OPP
portunities, a small land
holder. Wolney is that most
unlovely of human beings,
a hypocrite. When a neigh
Dor offers to sell him goods
stolen from deported Jews,
Wolney rationalizes that
someone else would only buy
them. He is pressured into
Joining the underground, but
he sends a woman in his
place on dangerous mission.
The authors take you vi
wildly through the wheel Of
the days, the wheel OF the
seasons on the farm, as seen
from RoSa's cruelty limited
vision. The endless daily
routine. the inperceptible
seasonal changes - reflected
in her relationship with Leon
are brilliantly presented.
The authors wish you to
understand for once and all
the peasant mind-its greed,
cunning, self-interest and
self-pity. 1t is a mastery

most in a novel, that is to
say, style and story.
Miss Smith wanders all

nan. princeton University
Press; $7.50.)
1t can be said quite accu-
rately that the pattern of
relations between the Soviet
Union and the United States
was set in the years 1917
1920, years of revolution and
counter-revolution in Russia.
In this second volume of his
detailed study of Soviet
American relations, George
F. KEENAN, sets forth the po-
litical confusion, the vacilla-
ton, the conflict of principle
that beset Washington's poll
icy toward the Bolshevik
state, a policy that brought
Intervention by American
troops that ended in fruStra-
ton and gave to the Commu-
nists a solid basis for their
professional distrust of the
West.
AS he did in the first vol
ume, RUSSIA LEAVES THE
WAR, Mr.. KEENAN, turns a
powerful spotlight on a rela-
lively short period of time
and probes some heretofore
dark shadows. In doing it,
he displays a rare combina-
ton Of artistic skill and his
torical insight, strengthened
by a vast amount of careful
research and evaluation. The
first volume won the Pulitzer
Prize for history and three
other top national awards:

Mr.. Camus continues. as In
"The Fall" and 1.-THE Plague"
to express his philosophy in
the form Of fiction, novels
and short stories.
Whatever he means to say
from time to time, the SYM
bolisn inherent in situations
and action, is not dragged in
and hurled at the reader. His
stories, artistic entities in
themselves, carry their own
meaning. Sometimes the i'm
precision he wants to convey
is clear enough. At other
times it is subtle and COM
pick. as life is. .
In Utmost Clarity
Thus his stories may be
read on two levels. for their
ostensible, their outward de-
ineations Of persons. and for
whatever else you may care
to read into them. In any
event, unlike most Of Frances
younger writer's, he writes
with the utmost clarity.
The new book contains six
stories. separate, varying
greatly in theme, and yet
holding q certain unity. 1t
seems clear, without torturing
symbolism to the point 1t has
reached in academic criti-
cism, that the title, Exile
and the Kingdom" and the
nature Of the stories indicate
q unifying idea. This appar-
emily is man driven into gpir-
itual exile, for one reason or
another. and seeking escape
through some inner kingdom.
The Unfaithful
Thus we have 1.-THE Adult
ferrous Woman" q bored, I'M
happy woman. travelling with
her husband in Arab COM
munities of Algeria, where he
is trying to sell his goods.
She is unfaithful to him
not with another man. but
with the vast desert night,
which she has come to love.
In 1.-THE Renegade" a mis-
sionary who has been tor
tured by infidels comes. in
his mad suffering, to love
them and to hate and betray
his own people. THE Artist
At Work" shows a painter
sacrificing his talent and his
career to his liking for people
and his desire to please them
and do whatever they wish.
These stories and the other
three could be cited, aside
from their unifying message,
as models Of short story con-
struction. And there is no
preaching in them: the mes
sage is inherent in the mar
rative. Mr.. Camus is a writer
Of great power and absolute
integrity.
