Award-winning author China Mieville plunges us into the year the world was turned upside down
In February of 1917 Russia was a backward, 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, Mieville 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 civilisation that still resonates loudly today.
China Mieville tells the extraordinary story of this pivotal moment in history.
