Victor Serge’s  final novel, here translated into English for the first time, is at once the most  ambitious, bleakest, and most lyrical of this neglected major writer’s works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  book is arranged into four sections, like the panels of an immense mural or the movements  of a symphony. In the first, D, a lifelong revolutionary who has broken with the  Communist Party and expects retribution at any moment, flees through the streets  of prewar Paris, haunted by the ghosts of his past and his fears for the future.  Part two finds D’s friend and fellow revolutionary Daria caught up in the defense  of a besieged Leningrad, the horrors and heroism of which Serge brings to terrifying  life. The third part is set in Germany. On a dangerous assignment behind the lines,  Daria finds herself in a city destroyed by both Allied bombing and Nazism, where  the populace now confronts the prospect of total defeat. The novel closes in Mexico,  in a remote and prodigiously beautiful part of the New World where D and Daria are  reunited, hoping that they may at last have escaped the grim reckonings of their  modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA visionary novel, a political novel, a novel of adventure, passion,  and ideas, of despair and, against all odds, of hope, \u003ci\u003eUnforgiving Years\u003c\/i\u003e is a rediscovered  masterpiece by the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Case of Comrade Tulayev.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46404915101923,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781590172476","price":128.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781590172476.jpg?v=1748571990","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/products\/9781590172476","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
