This article focuses on the books related to political issues. One of them is "A Girl in Soviet Russia," by Andrée Viollis. The author says that this book is a jolly and colorful piece of reporting. The author, a Frenchwoman, wandered about the Soviet Union for three months, and she describes with humor and imagination and fine human feeling her adventures and observations in the cities and villages. Another book is "Deep Song. Adventures with Gypsy Songs and Singers in Andalusia and Other Lands, with Original Translations," by Irving Brown. Brown in other books has written of the gipsies in America whom he knows both by experience and by scholarship. He goes now to Spain for the texts, and in some cases the tunes, of gipsy popular songs.
