Soon, he and his colleagues are caught up in an ambitious Cheka investigator's attempts to set up a show trial to rival those taking place in Moscow. Vivid, courageous and defiant, The Faculty of Useless Knowledge is the crowning achievement by the author of The Keeper of Antiquities and The Dark Lady and draws heavily on autobiographical experience. First published in Russian in 1978, it is a masterpiece of anti-totalitarian literature, and stands alongside the works of Solzhenitsyn and Bulgakov in illuminating the chaos, absurdity and bureaucratic labyrinths of Soviet Russia.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Dombrovski nos ofrece un lúcido análisis del totalitarismo sobre la base de su experiencia, un tercio de cuya vida transcurrió en campos siberianos incluido Kolimá y confinado en Kazajistán. «He decidido no inventar nada, describir lo que conozco mejor, mi propia vida», repetía Dombrovski. «La facultad de las cosas inútiles», culminación de su carrera literaria, habla del destino de los valores de la civilización cristiano-humanista en un mundo anticristiano y antihumanista, así como de los individuos que se imponen la tarea de custodiar estos valores e ideales, «cosas inútiles» para el régimen estalinista. Una novela que es un monumento erigido al sufrimiento de toda una generación, una obra maestra de la literatura rusa que se publica por primera vez en español. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
