Description
Laughter of Carthage: The Second Volume of the Colonel Pyat Quartet by Michael Moorcock is a novel that follows Maxim Arturovitch Pyatnitski, a complex and charismatic figure, as he navigates a series of crises in 1919. Pyat's life is marked by his involvement with various women, his schemes to build flying machines, and his racist and anti-Semitic views. As Pyat flees Bolshevik Russia, he embarks on a journey that takes him from Europe to the United States, where he becomes involved with the Ku Klux Klan and lectures across America. His true nature is revealed as Jewish, adding depth to his already complex character. This authoritative edition of Laughter of Carthage presents Pyat's warped vision in a way that redefines reality, making it a fascinating read for those interested in historical fiction and alternative history.
