Meet Maxim Arturovitch Pyatnitski, also known as Pyat. Tsarist
rebel, Nazi thug, continental conman and reactionary counterspy:
the dark and dangerous antihero of Michael Moorcock's most
controversial work. Published in 1981 to great critical
acclaim--then condemned to the shadows and unavailable in the
United States for 30 years--"Byzantium Endures," the first of the
Pyat quartet, is not a book for the faint-hearted. It is the story
of a cocaine addict, sexual adventurer, and obsessive anti-Semite
whose epic journey from Leningrad to London connects him with
scoundrels and heroes from Trotsky to Makhno and whose career
echoes that of the 20th century's descent into fascism and total
war. This is Moorcock at his audacious, iconoclastic best: a grand
sweeping overview of the events of the last century, as revealed in
the secret journals of modern literature's most proudly
unredeemable outlaw. This authoritative edition presents the
author's final cut, restoring previously forbidden passages and
deleted scenes.
