Set against the backdrop of Stalinism and then the collapse of the USSR, Kolia is a luminous and unforgettable story about a boy born in a Siberian Gulag and his eventual freedom and life as a clown in the Moscow circus in the 1960s. Kolia’s life begins in a labour camp in eastern Siberia in 1937. Iosif, a prisoner originally from Western Europe, teaches him the basic knowledge for survival in the harsh environment of the Gulag, but he also teaches him calculus, Russian, and French, before disappearing like most people who have lived in the open-air prison. After Stalin’s death, Kolia is released and he’s thrown into Soviet society. He joins a circus in Moscow, where he finds the comfort of a family and is successful until the collapse of the USSR. But the memory of Josef and the Gulag haunt him all his life. Kolia is a moving and deeply human novel that beautifully illustrates the resilience of the human spirit.… (plus d'informations)

This lovely story follows the life of a young boy known as Kolia who was born in a Siberian prison camp during Stalin’s purges. He is befriended by a fellow prisoner who teaches him French and instills in him a love of literature. Upon release and rehabilitation, Kolia eventually finds himself apprenticed to the two most famous clowns in the Moscow Circus. Oh yes, and Kolia does have one other quirk – he likes to pick pockets for fun. Whether you like political parable or inspirational stories, there is much to enjoy in this award-winning tale.
