Konstantin Paustovsky

4.43/5 (242 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

From the very first sentence, “I was in my last year of school in Kiev when the telegram came saying that my father was dying,” readers will be in thrall to the voice of Konstantin Paustovsky. This universally acclaimed memoir gives us an extraordinary picture of Russia during the tumultuous first two decades of the twentieth century. Here are startlingly vivid vignettes of country life, poignant remembrances of the disintegration of the writer’s family, and anecdotes from his student days. Here too are devastating eyewitness reports of the horrors of pogroms, searing visions of towns ravaged by disease, hunger, and violence, and what will stand as the definitive account of the chaos and passion of a nation in the throes of revolution.
