  Russia - Literature
In the modern era, literature has been the arena for heated discussion of virtually all aspects of Russian life, including the place that literature itself should occupy in that life.
The middle period of the eighteenth century (1725-62) was dominated by the stylistic and genre innovations of four writers: Antiokh Kantemir, Vasiliy Trediakovskiy, Mikhail Lomonosov, and Aleksandr Sumarokov.
Russian literature of the nineteenth century provided a congenial medium for the discussion of political and social issues whose direct presentation was censored.

Literature which deals with this period often examines the parties in great detail.

Less well-known, but enormously valuable was the comprehensive bibliography on the mammals of Australia and its dependencies, and the New Guinea region, which he assembled and published as a service to the community from a wide range formal and less formal publications.
His first contribution to Current Literature appeared in Bulletin no. 1 of the fledgling Australian Mammal Society, of which he was editor from 1960 to 1975 and one of the four founder members.
As several of the earlier contributions to Current Literature are difficult to obtain, the compilers scanned a complete set and assembled an electronic version.

 23 Oct Nobel History
This year's Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded by the Swedish Academy to the Soviet Russian writer, Boris Pasternak, for his notable achievement in both contemporary poetry and the field of the great Russian narrative tradition.
On October 25, 1958, two days after the official communication from the Swedish Academy that Boris Pasternak had been selected as the Nobel Prize winner in literature, the Russian writer sent the following telegram to the Swedish Academy: Immensely thankful, touched, proud, astonished, abashed.

Europeans have won the literature prize in nine of the past 10 years, so the experts think the Swedish Academy may look outside Europe this year.
Since the first prizes were awarded in 1901, some winners have famously turned them down: The French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre refused the literature prize in 1964 and North Vietnam's Le Duc Tho, honored jointly with U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger for negotiating the Vietnam peace accords, turned down the peace prize in 1973.
Boris Pasternak, author of ``Dr. Zhivago,'' and Alexander Solzhenitsyn (``The Gulag Archipelago''), were so reviled by their Soviet government for winning the 1958 and 1970 literature prizes that they refused to travel to Stockholm for their awards, fearing they would be banned from returning.
