Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Valery Yakovlevich Tarsis (1906-1983) a Russian novelist who was highly critical of the communist regime. Valery was born in Kiev, went to school there and then to Rostov-on-Don University. In the twenties he published some short stories but his main focus was on translations of Western writers into Russian - he translated over thirty books while working for a publishing house (until 1937) as a specialist in Western literature. During the war Valery was twice severely wounded. Once a writer and editor in good official standing, Tarsis grew disillusioned with Communism in the 1950s. The publication abroad of his scathing 1962 novel The Bluebottle earned him an eight-month stay in a Soviet mental hospital, an experience he described in his autobiographical novel Ward 7: "All around him were faces exposed by sleep or distorted by nightmares ... it is alwayshard to be the only one awake, and it is almost unbearable to stand the third watch of the world in a madhouse...".
