New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1924. — 350 p.Wine of Fury is one of the very few Russian stories written by non -Russians that carry well defined plots through historical incidents in such fashion as to make the reader feel that the incidents are true and not coined for the occasion. Francois Villon might have been King of France for a day, such act being the result of a jestful mood on the King’s part, or he might not have been, — the play “If I were King” however, does not need absolute convincing proof of Villon’s Kingship to make it a good play. In Wine of Fury, however, one does need to feel that the historical background is true. And one does so feel.The events of the Russian Revolution are presented in a fashion that make them seem Russian and yet understandable in America. The delightful incoherent logic of the Russian peasant finds no place in the book, and it would have been there had a Russian written it, but the writer suggests suggestion as the Russian writers do and yet he clothes all the pictures in Anglo-Saxon trimmings, thought-trimmings perhaps,so that if the book were to be translated back into Russian, the native would find more of Boston and New York in the pictures than he would of Petrograd or Moscow.
