The Humanity of Lenin, Book by Valeriu Marco "I wrote my book on Lenin because as a boy in Switzerland he talked to me as if I had been his equal. I saw him at the summit of power, and what most impres·.sed me was his absolute humanity." So says Valeriu Marcu, the author of "Lenin : Thirty Years of Russia." Mr. Marcu tells the story of Lenin's years as a fugitive, always working fr the revolution, then of the revolution itself, and his rise to power with the stupendous problems that h brought. He demanded nothing for himself. He was devoid of cupidity as of vanity. It was for the people that he made hi·s demands. "Lenin : Thirty Years of Russia" is the strange st_~ry of a strangely single-minded leader. The Mother's Recompense Edith Wharton .··..·· $1.00 Dark Laughter Sbtnroocl Anderson ..·.
