Adventure Narratives in the Early Soviet UnionAuthor(s): Riccardo Nicolosi, Brigitte Obermayr\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Academic Studies Press, United States\nImprint: Academic Studies Press\nISBN-13: 9798887196312, 979-8887196312\nSynopsis\nIn the early 1920s, Soviet writers and literary theorists were convinced that adventure fiction held the key to developing a new kind of narrative. The call for a \""Russian Stevenson\"" (Lev Lunts) profoundly impacted the theory of prose and different notions of the literary hero. It also led theorists like Shklovsky to write dime novels and convinced writers of various backgrounds to explore Soviet topography in a new light, harnessing the synergies between imperialism and adventure. Despite the inherently anarchist nature of adventure and its bourgeois offspring, the magic of adventure found its way into socialist realism under different guises, demanding recognition and resisting neglect, especially in the case of socialist realist film.\n\.
