Contrary to Soviet propaganda stating "The Communist Manifesto" was the first book to travel into space, the first work of literature to leave Earth's surface was "The Brothers Karamazov", carried by Yuri Gagarin.
Gagarin left his copy of the manifesto in a defective spacesuit shortly before launch.
