Wave of Terror : A Novel by Theodore Odrach, Emma Odrach, T.F. Rigelhof EN
BelarusDescription:
This novel is a major literary discovery, and Odrach is drawing favorable comparisons with such eminent writers as Chekhov and Solzhenitsyn. Odrach wrote in Ukrainian, while living an exile's life in Toronto. This remarkable book is a microcosm of Soviet history, and Odrach provides a first-hand account of events during the Stalinist era that newsreels never covered.

Odrach creates a powerful and moving picture, and manages to show what lif... continue
