Summary:

"On the morning of May 16, 1939, the NKVD's authorized agents came to take Isaac Babel by car to Peredelkino's" writer's village ". He was taken to the prison with his manuscripts tied up in bundles. At first, he confessed nothing. Not even that he was a spy in the pay of the Frenchman Andre Malraux." The mutiny of Potemkin , the assassination of a vice-governor by Maria Spiridonova, Red cavalry painted by a Malevich more and more worried, the adventure Gagarin's amazing ... Fourteen new - moving, tragic or funny - that tell the story of Soviet-era Russia and the major events or actors of the revolution. Philippe Videlier combines documentary precision and a discreet ferocity of tone, which gives this news a particular charm. He invented a genre, the historical novel: telling the truth as if it were a fiction.--Translation of page 4 of cover by Gallimard.
