Limonov

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (20487 ratings)

Description:'Limonov is not a fictional character. There. I know him. He was a rogue in Ukraine; an idol of the Soviet underground under Brezhnev; a bum, then a multimillionaire's valet in Manhattan; a fashionable writer in Paris; a lost soldier in the Balkan wars; and now, in the chaotic ruins of postcommunist Russia, the elderly but charismatic leader of a party of young desperadoes. He sees himself as a hero; you might call him a scumbag: I suspend my judgement on the matter. It's a dangerous life, an ambiguous life: a real adventure novel. It is also, I believe, a life that says something.'The crazed, reckless life of Edward Limonov is like a novel: compelling, black, wild, bitter, surprising. In this extraordinary work the charismatic novelist, journalist, screenwriter and filmmaker Emmanuel Carrère takes us into the dark heart of a character who, whether drugged on New York streets after taking a beating by a mob boss, getting dragged into grotesque Parisian salons, enlisting in the army or being imprisoned in a labour camp, is sometimes poignant, sometimes repulsive, sometimes a bastard, sometimes even endearing. But who is never, ever mediocre.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
