Trade Paperback. Condition: New. First Edition. New. 99pp. Empyrean Series 7. 'An explosive narrative from the Russian master of modernity Boris Pilnyak. Pilnyak had lived directly the momentous changes of the Russian Revolution of 1917, and in Ivan Moscow he channeled the sense of danger and upheaval into a novel where the next direction can never be predicted.
