Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. THERE IS A BLACK "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES. Mikhail Sholokhov is one of the most contested recipients of the Nobel Prize in Literature in the history of the award. As a young man, Sholokhov's epic Quiet Flows the Don -- originally Quiet…Don -- became an unprecedented overnight success. Yet he struggled to complete a second novel for Stalin and his feud with Boris Pasternak made international headlines. Rich with intrigue and set during the most tumultuous years of the Soviet Union, Stalin's Scribe is the first-ever biography of a man who was one of his country's most prominent political figures. Thanks to the opening of Russia's archives, historian Brian Boeck discovers that Sholokhov's official Soviet narrative is actually a tangled web of legends, half-truths, and contradictions. Boeck deftly examines the complex connection between an author and a dictator, revealing how a Stalinist courtier became an ideological acrobat and consummate politician in order to stay in favor and remain relevant after the dictator's death. This remarkable biography both reinforces and challenges our understanding of the Soviet system. Boeck reveals a Sholokhov who is bold, uncompromising, and sympathetic, and then reconciles him with the vindictive and mean-spirited man describes in so many accounts of late Soviet history. At the height of the great Terror, which claimed over one million lives, Sholokov became a member of the most miniscule subset of the Soviet Union's population -- the handful of individuals whom Stalin personally intervened to save. Stalin's Scribe explores the nuances of the man who once held a nation in literary thrall and who has remained one of the world literature's most contentious ciphers. Pegasus Books, Hardcover, 1st Edition, 1st Printing, 2019 THIS IS A BRAND NEW BOOK. THERE IS A BLACK "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Imperial Boundaries is a study of imperial expansion and local transformation on Russia's Don Steppe frontier during the age of Peter the Great. Brian Boeck connects the rivalry of the Russian and Ottoman empires in the northern Black Sea basin to…the social history of the Don Cossacks, who were transformed from an open, democratic, multiethnic, male fraternity dedicated to frontier raiding into a closed, ethnic community devoted to defending and advancing the boundaries of the Russian state. He shows how by promoting border patrol, migration control, bureaucratic regulation of cross-border contacts and deportation of dissidents, Peter I destroyed the world of the old steppe and created a new imperial Cossack order in its place. In examining this transformation, Imperial Boundaries addresses key historical issues of imperial expansion, the delegitimization of non-state violence, the construction of borders, and the encroaching boundaries of state authority in the lives of local communities.
