Description
A provocative and insightful portrait of Soviet high society in the 1920s. Curzio Malaparte's novel offers a unique perspective on the decadence and intrigue of Communist life, as seen through the eyes of its elite. Set against the backdrop of the end of the 1920s, when the revolution was accompanied by a growing sense of doom, The Kremlin Ball is a masterful exploration of the scandals, amours, and intrigues that defined Soviet high society. Through the lens of its characters, Malaparte reveals a world of beauty and corruption, where the boundaries between power and decay are constantly blurred. Unfinished at the time of Malaparte's death, this extraordinary court chronicle was only published posthumously in Italy over fifty years later, making its English-language debut with this edition.
