Issued by the Foreign Literature Publishing House, this compilation served to formally introduce the newly arrived international literary star to the post-war Soviet public. The volume includes his major poetic works and dramas, reflecting his fervent anti-imperialist stance and commitment to the global peace movement. This ideological alignment is strikingly reflected in the publisher's binding, which features a white dove of peace stamped on the front board, a direct nod to the World Peace Council of which Hikmet became a prominent member alongside figures like Pablo Neruda and Pablo Picasso. The presence of the original tipped-in errata slip at the rear is an excellent bibliographical detail. Well-preserved copies of this 1951 edition are compelling artifacts of Cold War cultural politics and the Soviet state's curation of international socialist literature, appealing strongly to collectors of Turkish diaspora writing and mid-century communist publishing history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44519444643882,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_5341.jpg?v=1782819222","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/hikmet-nazim-selected-works-izbrannoe-1951-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
