The Education of Lev Navrozov. A Life in the Closed World Once Called Russia

Beschreibung

Hardcover. First Edition. The Education of Lev Navrozov. Slight foxing to end inside covers and edge. Wear and some small tears to edge of D/J. This book recreates the life of a spirituality isolated individual inside a vast, omnipotent, machine-like society - cruel, barren, and destructive. Navrozov writes with a sensivity long missing from Russian letters. Interwoven with the story of one man cherishing the constantly endangered flicker of his identity is a socialogical and psycological analysis of Russia under its new 'Tsar-gods', which in its cascade of gargoyle imagery and black phantasms reads like fiction, but which is in fact an incisive and accurate twenty years' study of post-1917 Russia, carried out inside the U.S.S.R., and often based on documentary evidence the West has never seen. It is this combination of artistic intensity - so very russian - with rigorous Western social analysis that makes this book a horrifying discovery of an unknown civilization: one that so many scholars often falsely assume to be familiar - of life utterly other, yet frighteningly near. 628 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
