...FERTILE PLAIN, by Esfher Sola-man (344 pp.; Abelard-Schuman; $3.50), deals with Russian Jews, more urbane, polished and aware than Singer's woebegone Galizianer. Little Rissia grows up in Vladimirsk, a fictional town near Kiev, in the early years of the 20th century. All Russia seems wrapped in a dream, like a mountain village in the instant before the avalanche. While, outside, the wind is rising, at home Rissia is borne along on the immemorial patterns of Jewish tradition in which there is a complex law for every occasion and a cryptic Talmudic proverb for every problem...

If he made it, Bourges would be the youngest Premier of France in the 2Oth century...
...GAME AND THE GROUND, by PeterVansittart (87pp.; Abelard-Schuman; $3), deals with the war wreckage that can never wholly be cleared away -the human ruins. Among such victims of war, children, with their mixture of helplessness and guiltlessness, are the most poignant. Around a camp of brutalized children and their would-be healers in a thinly disguised German locale, British Author Peter Vansittart has fashioned a melancholy novel that is sometimes static but frequently moving. Two brothers, Eric and the nameless first-person narrator of the story, have turned their war-ravaged country estate, Kasalten, into a rehabilitation center...
