To Pravda
This is a three part samizdat from Moscow by an anonymous author. The circumstances under which the samizdat was obtained were quite interesting. Several years ago an American professor was approached by a Moscovite in a subway station. Not speaking any Russian he was unable to understand what the man was saying to him. As the subway train approached the Soviet stuck some crumpled paper into the American\u27s pocket and disappeared. The professor did not realize until later that there was a developed negative of a film inside the paper. The negatives contained photos of many typed pages which, however, were illegible at the time due to the minute print. The film was eventually taken qut of the Soviet Union at considerable risk. After the film was develop�d and enlarged it became obvious that it is a rather interesting and sometimes bizarre piece of writing of a malcontent. Rqllo May observed that lunatics, artists, and prophets (not necessarily in that order) are the most perceptive sensors of societal maladies. They, before the rest of us, feel and express our collective experiences. Sections of the writing may strike us as the ramblings of a lunatic. Other parts are lucid, literate, but angry attacks at practically all that surrounds the author. The translation is a faithful rendition except for substitution of obscene words with euphemisms to protect the sensibilities of the average reader. We leave it to the readers to judge for themselves whether this samizdat adds to their knowledge of Soviet Life or not
THE SECRET TRIBUNAL OR, THE COURT OF WINCESLAUS A MYSTERIOUS TALE [Transcript]
Set in Bavaria, The Secret Tribunal, follows the young maiden Mira, who is being raised by her two parents, Old Lindhom and Ms. Lindholm and is pursued by the young Lipstolf. Lipstolf, a member of the Court of Wenceslaus, is told to leave as he and Mira can never be together due to a family secret. He leaves and becomes a knight. Mira gains entry to the Court of Wenceslaus as an attendant to Wenceslaus’ wife Sophia. Mira ingratiates herself to Sophia, much to the chagrin of the Countess Ormsberg who wishes for her daughter to be a favorite in the court.
Mira plays her harp for Sophia in order to help Sophia deliver a male heir to Wenceslaus, who then gives birth to a stillborn baby girl. Seizing the opportunity, Duchess Ormsberg charges Mira with sorcery. Mira is summoned to a secret tribunal. During the proceedings Lipstolf appears and helps to exonerate her as well as revealing Mira’s true aristocratic lineage. Mira now goes off to reside with her father, a Count. However, she is pursued by the secret tribunal and goes into hiding in a convent. News reaches her that Lipstolf has now been accused of murder and will face the same tribunal. Lipstolf is acquitted by the tribunal and finds Mira in the convent. Mira is reunited with Listolf and Lindholm and all live well knowing the secret tribunal is now under the authority of a friend and will no longer pursue them.https://epublications.marquette.edu/english_gothic/1017/thumbnail.jp
