The Cancer Ward first began circulating inside the Soviet bloc as a samizdat in 1966. The Bethell-Burg translation (which, like all contemporary translations, was unauthorized by Solzhenitsyn) first began appearing as extracts in the Times Literary Supplement in 1968, and was published in two volumes by The Bodley Head the same year.

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1943. First Edition. First printing. Octavo. Cloth hardcover; dustjacket; red publisher's top-stain; 482pp. Tight, Near Fine copy, with top-stain clean and unfaded. In the original dustwrapper, unclipped (priced $3.00 on front flap), crisp, clean and unfaded with a trace of rubbing and a single brief, closed tear to front panel; Near Fine. Quite nice copy of this late-career novel by Aldanov, set within the Soviet foreign service at the outbreak of WW2.

He was nominated for the Nobel Prize (without ever winning) thirteen tmes.
