THE MAKEPEACE EXPERIMENT, by Abram Tertz. The pseudonymous author, a Russian satirist who has smuggled out four previous novels, writes a deft parable in which Communist bosses are likened to a village bicycle mechanic who learns to control people with "mental magnetism." With his new powers, the mechanic makes the village government "wither away," with disastrously funny results.
INTERN, by Doctor X. A young doctor's log of his internship in a city hospital is filled with continual, overlapping crises, costly mistakes and occasional triumphs.
MICHAEL FARADAY, by L. Pearce Williams. Faraday (1791-1867) was probably the greatest experimental scientist who ever lived; the first induction of electric current and the first dynamo are among his achievements. Author Williams shows how Faraday's almost limitless intelligence emerges and finally flourishes, with only a Sunday-school education.
