Ordeal I-III.

• Példány állapota: jó

The central place in Alexei Tolstoy’s work is held by his books about the events of the Great October Revolution and the Civil War. His Ordeal (1919-1941) is a book about the Russian people as they forge their way to a new life, about the Russian intelligentsia which, as a result of a long “ordeal”, found its place in society. Tolstoy himself wrote of the plan behind his “It’s time to begin studying the Revolution, it’s time for the artist to become a historian and a thinker… I not only acknowledge the Revolution – with such acknowledgement alone it would not be possible even to write a novel – I love its dark majesty, its world-wide scope. And that is the task of my novel – to create this majesty, this scope in all its complexity.
