After a successful tour of the Central European cabarets, flamenco dancer Juan Martinez and his partner Sole were caught by surprise in Russia by the revolutionary events of February of 1917. Unable to leave the country, in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Kiev they suffered the fall-out of the October Revolution and the bloody civil war that followed. The great Spanish journalist Manuel Chaves Nogales met Martinez in Paris and, shocked by the stories he shared, decided to compile them. The result is this book which narrates the changes the protagonists were faced with and how they figured out a way to survive. Its pages include traveling artists, prodigal Russian dukes, German spies, Chekist assassins, and speculators of a different ilk. "Despues de triunfar en los cabarets de media Europa, el bailarin flamenco Juan Martinez, y su companera, Sole, fueron sorprendidos en Rusia por los acontecimientos revolucionarios de febrero de 1917. Sin poder salir del pais, en San Petersburgo, Moscu y Kiev sufrieron los rigores provocados por la Revolucion de Octubre y la sangrienta guerra civil que le siguio. El gran periodista sevillano Manuel Chaves Nogales conocio a Martinez en Paris y asombrado por las peripecias que este le conto, decidio recogerlas en un libro. El resultado es esta obra que relata las vicisitudes a las que se vieron sometidos sus protagonistas y como se las ingeniaron para sobrevivir. Por sus paginas desfilan artistas de la farandula, prodigos duques rusos, espias alemanes, asesinos chequistas y especuladores de distinta calana. "
