Description
Karl Radek: A Novel by Stefan Heym is a first-ever English translation that reveals the inner voice of a brilliant Bolshevik politician during the first global revolution. This dramatic history follows the story of Karl Radek, known as the editor of the newspaper of record throughout the Soviet era, Isvestia. Radek's life was marked by controversy and change, from his early days as Lenin's companion to his later fall out with Stalin. He was a central figure in the communist world, but his ambiguous personality made him a complex and intriguing character. Through conversations with key figures of the time, including Lenin, Luxemburg, Liebknecht, Trotsky, and Stalin, Heym brings Radek to life as a man driven by a fierce determination to see the revolution through. As Radek navigates the treacherous landscape of revolutionary politics, he finds himself caught up in the great purges of the late 1930s and scripting his own trial. This is a gripping account of one man's struggle to stay true to his ideals, even as the world around him seems determined to tear him apart.
