Product code: The Seven Days buy of Creation 1975
The Seven Days of Creation. Jacket has wear and tear. Book itself is in excellent condition. This novel, unpublished in buy the Soviet Union, first appeared in Germany in 1971; the forty-two-year-old author bids fair to join the ranks of Solzhenitsyn, because he too is a usable religious anti-Communist, and because he is a powerful writer. The book follows three Lashkov brothers from their decrepit old age back to their struggles especially during non-combatant involvement in World War II. Andrei and Pyotr have been conscientious commissars and decent fellows on the railway and in a spectacular cattle drive respectively. They end up weeping for their lost lives and grasping at the "mysterious and ennobling" higher questions. With women as creatures of passion and old age as frantically degraded and Christianity as the truth to be regained, it is all quite Dostoievskian, and the novel is spattered with little set speeches and set characters.
