Education of Lev Navrozov, The: A life in the closed world once called Russia

Absolute minimal library distinctions, pocket intact, else contents appear as new, unread & unblemished. Fine, as shown.

This book recreates the life of a spirituality isolated individual inside a vast, omnipotent, machine-like society - cruel, barren, and destructive. Navrozov writes with a sensivity long missing from Russian letters. Interwoven with the story of one man cherishing the constantly endangered flicker of his identity is a socialogical and psycological analysis of Russia under its new 'Tsar-gods', which in its cascade of gargoyle imagery and black phantasms reads like fiction, but which is in fact an incisive and accurate twenty years' study of post-1917 Russia, carried out inside the U.S.S.R., and often based on documentary evidence the West has never seen. It is this combination of artistic intensity - so very Russian - with rigorous Western social analysis that makes this book a horrifying discovery of an unknown civilization: one that so many scholars often falsely assume to be familiar - of life utterly other, yet frighteningly near.
