Chargement... The Autobiography of Joseph Stalin: A Novel (édition 2000)par Richard Lourie
Information sur l'oeuvreMoi, Staline par Richard Lourie
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() I read this at some point during high school, and re-read it during college. Absolutely brilliant first and last sentences, which I still remember offhand (it begins, "Leon Trotsky is trying to kill me" - I won't give away how it ends here). Rather brilliant in between, as well - incredibly imaginative. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In a spellbinding novel that combines the suspense of a thriller and the accuracy of a work of history, the psychology of a monster is fully revealed, every atom of his madness explored, every twist of his homicidal logic followed to its logical conclusion. "Leon Trotsky is trying to kill me," thinks Joseph Stalin. It's a paranoid lie, but all too real to Stalin. Trotsky, in exile in Mexico City, is writing a biography of Stalin that may offer proof of a secret crime that could force Stalin from power. What will Trotsky disclose before the long hand of Stalin reaches him and eliminates the threat? The prospect leads Stalin to reflect on his own life--the sly and domineering schoolboy battling a sadistic father . . . a youthful poet, thief, and seminarian who questions morality, evil, and the existence of God until he finds answers that free him to a life of power and slaughter. Stalin takes us deeper and deeper into his life and into the labyrinth of his psyche until we are finally alone with him. The Autobiography of Joseph Stalin is a mesmerizing journey to the very heart of evil. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
