Publisher Description In 1933, Victor Serge was arrested by Stalins police, interrogated, and held in solitary confinement for more than eighty days. Released, he spent two years in exile in remote Orenburg. These experiences were the inspiration for Midnight in the Century, Serges searching novel about revolutionaries living in the shadow of Stalins betrayal of the revolution.Among the exiles-true believers in a cause that no longer exists-gathered in the town of Chenor, or Black Waters, are the granite-faced old Bolshevik Ryzhik, stoic yet gentle Varvara, and Rodion, a young, self-educated worker who is trying to make sense of the world and history. They struggle in the unlikely company of Russian Orthodox Old Believers who are also suffering for their faith. Against unbelievable odds, the young Rodion will escape captivity and find a new life in the wild. Surviving the dark winter night of the soul, he rediscovers the only real, and most radical, form of resistance- hope. Author Biography Victor Serge (1890-1947), born Victor Lvovich Kibalchich, was a Russian writer, anarchist, and revolutionary. An outspoken critic of Stalin, Serge published a stream of impassioned, documented exposes of Stalins Moscow show trials and machinations in Spain. He wrote three novels, Men in Prison, Birth of Our Power, and Conquered City (available from NYRB Classics), and a history, Year One of the Russian Revolution. Stateless, penniless, hounded by Stalinist agents, Serge lived in precarious exile in Brussels, Paris, Vichy France, and Mexico City, where he died. His classic Memoirs of a Revolutionary and his great last novels, Unforgiving Years and The Case of Comrade Tulayev, written "for the desk drawer" and published posthumously, are all available from NYRB Classics.Richard Greeman has translated and written the introductions for five of Serges novels, including Unforgiving Years and Conquered City. A veteran Socialist and co-founder of the Praxis Center and Victor Serge Library in Moscow, Greeman is the author of Beware of "Vegetarian" Sharks- Radical Rants and Internationalist Essays. He divides his time between France and New York.
