{"product_id":"lenins-private-war-9780312427948","title":"Lenin's Private War","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1922, Vladimir Lenin personally drew up a list of some 160 undesirable intellectuals--mostly philosophers, academics, scientists, and journalists--to be deported from the new Soviet State. We're going to cleanse Russia once and for all he wrote to Stalin, whose job it was to oversee the deportation. Two ships sailed from Petrograd that autumn, taking Old Russia's eminent men and their families away to what would become permanent exile in Berlin, Prague, and Paris. Through journals, letters, memoirs, and personal accounts, Lesley Chamberlain creates a rich portrait of these banished thinkers and their families. She describes the world they left behind, the émigré communities they were forced to join, and the enduring power of the works they produced in exile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lesley Chamberlain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312427948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/12\/2008 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/17\/2008 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLESLEY CHAMBERLAIN \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of many books, including \u003ci\u003eCommunist Mirror, Nietzsche in Turin, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMotherland: A Philosophical History of Russia. \u003c\/i\u003eShe lives in London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martins Press-3PL","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40305694343283,"sku":"9.78031E+12","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_8010dab3-c096-4d64-9d9a-6ea41590899c.jpg?v=1658929026","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/lenins-private-war-9780312427948","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
