HardCover Binding. Year: 1977. ISBN: 0385121318. A panorama of Russia in our century, of events which changed the world and of ordinary men and women who became involved with them. It conveys the rough sweetness of the Russian countryside and the bitterness of ideals betrayed, the courage of a people endlessly at war with themselves and others. But it also tells of the triumph of the human spirit over despair and degradation, for despite the travails and tragedies of the Russian people, this is not a depressing but a triumphant book.
