About This Item
New York: St. Martin's Press, 2007. 414 pages, [8] pages of plates, illustrations; 25 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. Stated First U.S. Edition. Dust jacket, with light edgewear, protected in a mylar cover. "In 1922, Lenin personally drew up a list of some 160 'undesirable' intellectuals - mostly philosophers, academics, scientists and journalists - to be deported from the new Soviet State. 'We're going to cleanse Russia once and for all' he wrote to Stalin, whose job it was to oversee the deportation. Two ships sailed from Petrograd that autumn, taking Old Russia's eminent men and their families away to what would become permanent exile in Berlin, Prague and Paris. Lesley Chamberlain creates a rich portrait of this chilling historical moment, evoked with immediacy through the journals, letters, and memoirs of the exiles. / LESLEY CHAMBERLAIN is a writer and reviewer distinguished for her wide-ranging work from travel (in the Communist Mirror) to philosophy (Nietzsche in Turin). Her most recent book is Motherland: A Philosophical History of Russia. She lives in London, England." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo.
