An Anarchist Fairytale From the Russian Revolution
Übersetzer: Cohn, Jesse S.; Kuchinov, Eugene

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

• Communism for kids and adults: Readers will get a kick out of the novel's irreverent questioning of capitalist common sense.
• A gem for Jewish American readers: Radicals to be found in the meetings of the Worker's Circle or BDS campaigns can find in it a small reclamation of lost creativity, the refreshingly radical optimism of a long-ago generation.
• College Course Potential: Could easily be included in courses on the history of utopias, the history of Russia, or Jewish history. It preserves a moment in the early 20th century in which the future of the Soviet Union was still briefly up for grabsand with it, the fate of global radicalism.
