About This Item
New York: Riverhead Books; Penguin Putnam Inc., 2017. xii, 515 pages; 24 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. A fine copy of the first printing. "Hailed for her 'fearless indictment of the most powerful man in Russia' (The Wall Street Journal), award-winning journalist Masha Gessen is unparalleled in her understanding of the events and forces that have wracked her native country in recent times. In The Future Is History, she follows the lives of four people born at what promised to be the dawn of democracy. Each of them came of age with unprecedented expectations, some as the children and grandchildren of the very architects of the new Russia, each with newfound aspirations of their ownas entrepreneurs, activists, thinkers, and writers, sexual and social beings. Gessen charts their paths against the machinations of the regime that would crush them all, and against the war it waged on understanding itself, which ensured the unobstructed reemergence of the old Soviet order in the form of todays terrifying and seemingly unstoppable mafia state. Powerful and urgent, The Future Is History is a cautionary tale for our time and for all time." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 8vo. Collectible.
