Trade Paperback. Condition: New. First Edition. New. 99pp. Empyrean Series 7. 'An explosive narrative from the Russian master of modernity Boris Pilnyak. Pilnyak had lived directly the momentous changes of the Russian Revolution of 1917, and in Ivan Moscow he channeled the sense of danger and upheaval into a novel where the next direction can never be predicted. Shuttling back and forth in time, the difficult-to-summarize story involves a factory situated deep in the Poludov Mountains, syphilitic delirium, and a radioactive Egyptian mummy. If there's a narrative that conveys the shock of Russian modernity circa 1920 in such a riotous and entertaining fashion, well, we would like to know about it. Our text is a revised version of A. Schwartzman's translation of the book' ~ Publisher.

Emily Laskin and Isaac ZismanThe stories of the Russian writer Boris Pilnyak, whether historical, modernistic, or pastoral, tend to center on the very question of how stories come to be written, how dreams and rumors mix to create tales, which then shape the world around us.
