false 2402650 1 This panoramic novel hidden from the English-speaking world for more than 50 years begins with the Red Army invasion of Belarus in 1939. Ivan Kulik has just become Headmaster of school number 7 in Hlaby, a rural village in the Pinsk Marshes. Through his eyes we witness the tragedy of Stalinist domination where people are randomly deported to labour camps or tortured in Zovty Prison in Pinsk. The author's individual gift that sets him apart from his contemporaries is the range of his sympathies and his unromantic, unsentimental approach to the sensual lives of females. His debt to Chekhov is obvious in his ability to capture the internal drama of his characters with psychological concision. 2409783 book 1 1 2008 Wave of Terror: A Novel total:13|5:7|4:5|3:0|2:1|1:0| 13 57 135 8 4 2 false false Wed Dec 17 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 14:49:33 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 17 16:17:27 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Jun 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 10:02:23 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 10:02:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sat Oct 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 16:10:20 -0700 2009 Sat Nov 07 22:50:03 -0800 2009
