He was a prominent figure among the Russian dissident intellectuals, including Pasternak, Esenin, and Maiakovskii. While traveling through Europe, Erenburg wrote a series of essays and sketches, which he published in his current book. Under various titles - "In Poland," "Berlin," "Letters from a Cafe," etc. - a first person narrator described the culture, the society, the moods and the expressions of the places and the people, with a detectable undertone of a feeling of dislocation and transition.
