Description:A thrilling page-turner that also happens to be the biography of one of Russia’s most controversial figures This is how Emmanuel Carrère, the magnetic journalist, novelist, filmmaker, chameleon, describes his “Limonov is not a fictional character. There. I know him. He was a rogue in Ukraine; an idol of the Soviet underground under Brezhnev; a bum, then a multimillionaire’s valet in Manhattan; a fashionable writer in Paris; a lost soldier in the Balkan wars; and now, in the chaotic ruins of postcommunist Russia, the elderly but charismatic leader of a party of young desperados. He sees himself as a hero; you might call him a I suspend my judgment on the matter. It’s a dangerous life, an ambiguous a real adventure novel. It is also, I believe, a life that says something. Not just about him, Limonov, not just about Russia, but about all our history since the end of World War II.” So Limonov isn’t fictional—but he might as well be. This pseudo-biography isn’t a novel, but it reads like from Limonov’s grim childhood; to his desperate, comical, ultimately successful attempts to gain the respect of Russia’s literary intellectual elite; to his emigration to New York, then to Paris; to his return to the motherland. Limonov could be read as a charming picaresque. But it could also be read as a troubling counter-narrative of the second half of the twentieth century, one that reveals a violence, an anarchy, a brutality that the stories we tell ourselves about progress tend to conceal.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
