M. G. HINDUS



New York Evening Post Says


He is the most keenly observant commentator on post-revolutionary Russia of our time.




M
R. HINDUS was born in a Russian village.  He migrated to this country at the age of fourteen, working as a farm laborer for several years.  He worked his way through Colgate University, from which he graduated with high honors, continuing his studies at the Graduate School of Harvard.




Since the completion of his collegiate work, he has attained high distinction as a speaker and a writer.  He has talked in practically every state in the Union and has made two tours of western Canada.  His articles have appeared in leading American journals, including Century, Yale Review, Asia Magazine, Review of Reviews, Virginia Quarterly, Outlook, Current History and others.  His two books on Russia, 
Broken Earth
 and 
The Russian Peasant and the Revolution,
 are regarded as classics the world over.




His lectures, like his writings, are based on first hand studies.  On his many trips to Russia since the Revolution, he has traveled over the four corners of the country on foot and on horseback.  He went from town to town and village to village, stopping with the peasants in their homes, in the fields, living and working with them and learning from them directly how they reacted to the big events of their time.




Only recently he toured Asia, wandering all over Siberia, Manchuria, China and Japan.  In Siberia he spent some time with the Nomadic Buriats, a pagan people who still bring blood sacrifices to their gods.  In China, in addition to visiting the leading cities, he ventured into some of the most remote villages, in order to learn from the common people themselves what they thought of the social storms that have been brewing all about them.




Mr. Hindus' lectures are truly prophetic revelations.  He is a keen interpreter, an imaginative observer and an accomplished linguist.  He is also a magnificent speaker, fluent, lucid, witty, impassioned and, above all, fair-minded.




New York Times Says:


Many correspondents have gone to Russia and interviewed the leaders in Moscow.  Some have wandered through the strange lands and described what they saw.  Maurice Hindus worked this way — in admirable fashion.

My dear Mr. Burke, re:  Maurice Hindus




I do not know a young man here or in Europe whose mind I respect more and whose style — spoken or written — I more greatly admire.  I like him best for his obvious capacity for growth.  I have known him for a good many years and I can say of him as G. K. Chesterton said of H. G. Wells, 
You can almost hear his mind growing.
  He has intellectual honesty.  There is the feel of responsibility to his mental processes.  He is an uncannily accurate observer and reporter.  His discussions — spoken or written — are crowded with details, but not the dead sort of details in which a statistical mind delights.  His sense of color, of character, and of human values keeps his details alive.




I have just accepted for publication in the Century Magazine an article on Russia's challenge to Christianity, which I regard as one of the most accurately conceived and vividly written articles that has passed over my desk since I became editor of this magazine.




Very sincerely yours,

Glenn Frank

Asia Magazine Says:



He is singularly well equipped, once he had seized upon what school and college had to offer, to be an observer and interpreter of life in America, or better still, perhaps in Russia.

It is a real book.  One can small it and know it is Russian soil just as he detects the subtle odors of India in Kipling's 'Kim'.
