Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Lev Razgon was born in Gorki in 1908, the son of a factory worker. He studied history at Moscow University and on graduating joined the Communist Party and began his career as a journalist and writer of books for young adults. His marriage into one of the leading families of the new Soviet elite brought him into the higher echelons of the Party, but his wife's family was among those targeted following the attempt to oust Stalin. His wife died in a transit prison on the way to a northern camp and the years that followed were gruelling, with conditions deteriorating after Hitler attacked the Soviet Union. While in the camps Razgon met and married his second wife, the daughter of a leading opponent of the Bolshevik regime who had been imprisoned in the 1920s. In 1956 the Razgons were at last released and permitted to return to Moscow where Razgon took up his former career as a writer.
