Iurii Trifonov - Unity through Time (Hardcover, New)

Iurii Trifonov (1925-81) has recently become well-known in the West as a writer about Soviet urban life. This study concentrates on his exploration of major events in Russian history (such as the assassination of Tsar Alexander II and the Russian Civil War) and their implications and consequences for his time. David Gillespie traces this interest through all of Trifonov's writings, from his earliest, Stalin prize-winning period to the self-consciously modernist later works, in which Trifonov emphasizes the interconnectedness of human life and history, with the individual as the nerve of history; linking epochs, places, civilizations. Trifonov discerns patterns and analogies in history, and develops a language of hints and allusions with which to combat the repressive censorship of his time. He upheld the concepts of truth and justice when glasnost was unknown, and where historical expedience was all-determining.
