Excerpt from Feodor Vladimir Larrovitch: An Appreciation of His Life and Works The purpose of assembling between covers these commentaries on the life and work of Feodor Vladimir Larrovitch was to preserve in permanent from the first American tribute to that finely discerning interpreter of Russian life and ideals. Between America and Russia there has been a great gulf fixed for many years. Neither America nor Russia has striven very hard - despite several historic manifestations of interest - to foster an abiding friendship. Both nations have suffered from geographic separation. Both have felt acutely the intervention of pernicious influences. There has really been only a meager showing of that sympathy and sentiment which, in other instances, has bred a camaraderie vital, advantageous and enduring. What was true of our diplomatic relations has also been true of our mutual literary interests. American writers are read in Russia and Russian writers in America, but in neither case are they totally typical of either people. Current public demand has much to do with this. Jack London, for example, is a favorite with the Russian reading public, and in America Artsibasheff has enjoyed a certain measure of popularity. Yet who would say either entirely represented his respective country? Again, the popularity of a foreign author may be due to the fact that he is "discovered" by some well-known critic, and on the recommendation of that critic translations of his works are devoured by an unreflecting public. These methods of transplanting a foreign author to a strange soil are, indeed, unfair both to author and reader. They are even more unfair to the great mass of the "undiscovered" who enjoy popularity at home but are without honor abroad. In creating amity between peoples it is necessary to preserve more than a balance of trade; we must establish and maintain a balance of the arts.
