The Red And The White (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781166138608)

The Red and the White is a historical novel written by Henri Troyat. The book is set in Russia during the early 20th century, a time of great political and social upheaval. The story follows the lives of two families, one red (communist) and one white (anti-communist), as they navigate the turbulent times of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent civil war.The red family is led by a young revolutionary named Sergei, who is passionate about the communist cause and willing to do whatever it takes to bring about a new world order. The white family is led by a wealthy landowner named Ivan, who is deeply opposed to the communist movement and determined to protect his family and his way of life.As the revolution unfolds and the civil war rages on, the two families find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. They experience the horrors of war firsthand, including violence, famine, and disease. Along the way, they also encounter a cast of colorful characters, including soldiers, peasants, and members of the ruling class.Through the eyes of these characters, Troyat provides a vivid and compelling portrait of a pivotal moment in world history. The Red and the White is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and survival, set against the backdrop of one of the most tumultuous periods in Russian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
