Description
In this monumental narrative of the outbreak of World War I and the ill-fated Russian offensive into East Prussia, the author has written "a dramatically new interpretation of Russian history." From the alternating viewpoints of all involved, August 1914 reconstructs the assassination of the tsarist prime minister Pyotr Stolypin, a crucial event in the years leading up to the Revolution of 1917. Stolypin, the sole voice of reason among the advisers to Tsar Nikolai II, died at the hands of the anarchist Dmitri Bogrov, and with him perished Russia's last hope for reform. The first "knot" in Solzhenitsyn's multipart epic, The Red Wheel, August 1914 is a major work from the Russian Nobelist, back in part for the centenary of World War I and of the beginnings of the Russian Revolution.
