How did this unimaginable transformation take place?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a panoramic sweep, stretching from St. Petersburg and Moscow to the remotest villages of a sprawling empire, Miéville uncovers the catastrophes, intrigues and inspirations of 1917, in all their passion, drama and strangeness. Intervening in long-standing historical debates, but told with the reader new to the topic especially in mind, here is a breathtaking story of humanity at its greatest and most desperate; of a turning point for civilization that still resonates loudly today.","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42864247177471,"sku":"9781784782771","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781784782771_s600x595.jpg?v=1782321556","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781784782771","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
