Ego, suivi de Sur le fil

Rate this book
La campagne russe sous " le communisme de guerre ": réquisitions, exactions, terreur. Lénine n'avait-il pas promis, pourtant, la paix au pays et la terre à ceux qui la cultivent? Avec des fourches, puis avec des armes, les paysans se soulèvent dans la province de Tambov. Au printemps 1921, " Ego ", l'un de leurs chefs, est capturé par les bolchéviks et tombe dans un piège diabolique.

Le maréchal Joukov, ce héros dont le monde entier connaissait, en 1945, la poitrine constellée de décorations, est resté jusqu'à sa mort un communiste modèle, aveuglément soumis à la ligne du Parti. Mais tandis que, vieux et malade, il rédigeait ses Mémoires et les laissait docilement charcuter et " enrichir ", que pensait-il, au fond? N'a-t-il pas entrevu, dans un éclair, qu'il s'était lui-même enterré vif?

Due racconti brevi ma potenti sull'annientamento morale come fine ultimo dei regimi totalitari e le debolezze umane di fronte al potere. Sempre tristemente attuale.

Due racconti estremamente reali, due lati della stessa medaglia. La Russia sovietica delle rivolte contadine e quella di un generale. Not my cup of tea
