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

sus protagonistas y como se las ingeniaron para sobrevivir. Por sus
