Moscou année zéro

by Fabien Nury

1905. Les révolutions russes germent, la Russie tsariste décline. Dans ce contexte d'extrême tension politique et sociale, un geste en apparence anodin du gouverneur Sergueï Alexandrovitch met le feu aux poudres et signe son arrêt de mort. Georgi, un terroriste, fera tout pour l'éliminer. Voilà l'histoire que racontait Mort au Tsar dans un diptyque exposant tour à tour les deux points de vue, celui de la victime (tome 1) et de son assassin (tome 2). Fabien Nury et Thierry Robin ont « remonté » ces récits dissociés et en proposent une nouvelle lecture en miroir, plus intime et imbriquée pour un thriller politique implacable et inédit !

Reviews

[Maxim Miroshnikov · Rating 3 out of 5]

Beautifully done, not very historically accurate, but a good read nevertheless. Very Dostoyevsky-like
