London/New York: Verso. Fine in Fine dj. 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. [a lovely clean copy with no discernible wear to either book or jacket]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the title page. "Revolutionary novelist and historian, erstwhile anarchist, Bolshevik, dissident, Left Opportunist -- Victor Serge is one of the most compelling figures to have emerged from the history of the Soviet Union. A lucid observer and a great writer, his is the story of a course set on hope, a pursuit of truth, dignity and human justice set against some of the most momentous events of the twentieth century. Throughout his life, Serge wrote prolifically and tellingly of his times: novels, short stories and novellas as well as biographies of Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky and an enormous archive of unpublished work including correspondence, polemics and essays. [The author's] appreciation of these works and understanding of Serge's life reveal the extraordinary commitment and hope of a great political writer and activist whose views so often reflect the significant historical struggles of our own time." ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavier-than-average book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
