Over his career, Einaudi published works by Carlo Levi, Gramsci, Cesare Pavese, Natalia Ginzburg, Italo Calvino, Norberto Bobbio, Primo Levi, American Henry A. Wallace, and Soviet leader Nikita S. Khrushchev, as well as Boris Pasternak's novel Dr. Zhivago in 1957 when it was banned in the Soviet Union. Einaudi, who had spoken against the creation of NATO, in 1964 was granted an early Western interview with the Soviet premier Nikita S. Khrushchev and, later, publishing rights to a Khrushchev book that signaled post-Stalin détente policy directions for the country.
