• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

: Lee Mandel's historical novel Moryak revolves around the story of Lieutenant Stephen Morrison, a naval officer assigned by President Theodore Roosevelt to remove Tsar Nicholas II from Russia before he can sabotage the upcoming Portsmouth Peace conference.

The mission goes awry and Morrison is captured and sentenced to death. Through a quirk of fate, he is instead sent to the infamous Russian prison on Solovetsky Island. There, his increasingly violent nature eventually allows him to dominate the camp as "Moryak" (Russian for Sailor). He soon catches the attention of the Bolshevik prisoners and their growing interactions come to have devastating effects on the evolving revolution in Russia, as well as the Allied war effort as the world descends into the chaos of World War I.

As events of the novel unfold in the whirlpool of the global socio-political metamorphose, Moryak in fact tells the life story of one man's struggle for acceptance, him finding his place and finding himself.
