Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A brilliant weave of personal involvement, vivid biography and political insight, Koba the Dread is the successor to Martin Amiss award-winning memoir, Experience.Koba the Dread captures the appeal of one of the most powerful belief systems of the 20th century one that spread through the world, both captivating it and staining it red. It addresses itself to the central lacuna of 20th-century thought: the indulgence of Communism by the intellectuals of the West. In between the personal beginnings and the personal ending, Amis gives us perhaps the best one-hundred pages ever written about Stalin: Koba the Dread, Iosif the Terrible. The authors father, Kingsley Amis, though later reactionary in tendency, was a Comintern dogsbody (as he would come to put it) from 1941 to 1956. His second-closest, and then his closest friend (after the death of the poet Philip Larkin), was Robert Conquest, our leading Sovietologist whose book of 1968, The Great Terror, was second only to Solzhenitsyns The Gulag Archipelago in undermining the USSR. The present memoir explores these connections. Stalin said that the death of one person was tragic, the death of a million a mere statistic. Koba the Dread, during whose course the author absorbs a particular, a familial death, is a rebuttal of Stalins aphorism. The sequel to the author's memoir 'Experience' describes the role of communism in mid-20th-century thought and its influence on his own family as he reflects on Stalin, his impact on the Soviet Union, and his legacy.
