Description
In 1907, a daring heist in Tiflis sets off a chain of events that spans centuries and galaxies. Wu Ming's Proletkult is a thought-provoking blend of science fiction, revolution, and art. The story follows the journey of Leonid Voloch, a bolshhevik who steals a postal carriage and flees with the help of a Georgian comrade. They escape into an extraordinary sphere, where they encounter an alien being with human-like features. Years later, Leonid's supposed daughter seeks him out to return him to his home planet of Nacun. Proletkult is a fascinating pastiche of realist socialism and science fiction, featuring revolutionaries exiled in Capri, secret police, and utopian societies on other planets. With its unique blend of politics and imagination, this novel is sure to appeal to readers interested in the intersection of art and ideology.
