Nicholas Conrad | 4 comments Interesting, yes I can see the alternate editions on desktop, but there doesn't seem to be any way for me to access alternate editions from the Android app, where I was searching for "In the First Circle".

In any event, "In the First Circle" should be either a distinct entry, or at least the definitive title for the combined entry, as "The First Circle" was an unauthorized translation to English, and the book itself was heavily censored by the Soviet Union in the original Russian (including the title), whereas "In the First Circle" is both uncensored and translated in collaboration with the author.

The default edition is the most "popular" (most shelved) edition. I am not sure that these would be considered different works by GR standards.
