Reviews

Synopsis
Multi-award-winning author China Miéville captures the drama of the Russian Revolution in this "engaging retelling of the events that rocked the foundations of the twentieth century" ( Village Voice ). "Cinematic and vivid." -- Newsweek "An excellent work of art." -- Los Angeles Review of Books In February of 1917 Russia was a backwards, autocratic monarchy, mired in an unpopular war; by October, after not one but two revolutions, it had become the world's first workers' state, straining to be at the vanguard of global revolution. How did this unimaginable transformation take place? In a panoramic sweep, stretching from St. Petersburg and Moscow to the remotest villages of a sprawling empire, Miéville uncovers the catastrophes, intrigues and inspirations of 1917, in all their passion, drama and strangeness. Intervening in long-standing historical debates, but told with the reader new to the topic especially in mind, here is a breathtaking story of humanity at its greatest and most desperate; of a turning point for civilization that still resonates loudly today., Award-winning author China Mi ville plunges us into the year the world was turned upside down On the centenary of the Russian Revolution, China Mi ville tells the extraordinary story of this pivotal moment in history.
