Description
China Miéville's October tells the story of the Russian Revolution in vivid and cinematic detail. In February 1917, Russia was a monarchy mired in an unpopular war; by October, it had become the world's first workers' state, straining to be at the forefront of global revolution. Miéville uncovers the catastrophes, intrigues, and inspirations of 1917 in a panoramic sweep, from St. Petersburg and Moscow to the remotest villages of a sprawling empire. This is a breathtaking story of humanity at its greatest and most desperate, of a turning point for civilization that still resonates today. A new retelling of this pivotal moment in history, October sheds light on the complexities and passions of 1917, bringing the events to life for readers new to the topic or those looking to deepen their understanding.
