Balys Sruoga Collection

The Balys Sruoga collection holds various documents, including notes, manuscripts and correspondence with other Lithuanian writers. The documents illustrate well the situation of intellectuals and writers in Soviet Lithuania under Stalin. The manuscript of Sruoga’s novel Dievų miškas (The Forest of the Gods), written in 1945, is especially valuable. The manuscript was very severely criticised by the authorities and heavily censored. It was only published in Soviet Lithuania in 1957.

Balys Sruoga藏品囊括了多种文献资料，包括笔记、手稿以及与其他立陶宛作家之间的通信。这些文献资料生动地展现了在斯大林统治下的苏联立陶宛知识界和作家们的境遇。Sruoga于1945年所著小说《神之林》（Dievų miškas）的手稿尤为珍贵。该手稿曾遭受官方的严厉批评，并经历了严密的审查。该作品直至1957年才在苏联立陶宛得以出版。
