production novel, production play, etc. Explanation: http://www.jstor.org/pss/309682 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 мин (2010-10-29 12:42:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- But with the arrival of the Five-year Plans, such metaphors became literal, particularly in that exemplary piece of Socialist Realist hardware, the production novel. This, certainly, was art by blueprint. At its center was the "positive hero" -- so called to distinguish him from that gallery of neurotics, malingerers and web-spinners in earlier Russian fiction. Arriving at some factory or collective farm, he finds it in bad shape. The workers and poor peasants earnestly desire to build socialism. They are warm and colorful, the salt of the earth. But until the positive hero comes on the scene, they are out of luck. The positive hero rallies the masses under the leadership of the Bolsheviks. True, they face obstacles -- perhaps even sabotage by party members of bourgeois origin. A beloved character or two may die. Yet so moved are the toilers by the correctness of the hero's line that they reach, then exceed, their quota. There is much rejoicing. By the end of the novel, the positive hero may or may not fall in love, but he will almost certainly give a speech. Example sentence(s):
