“Do you understand, Boris, what it means to mold clay with your own two hands, to fire bricks for your own house…..to feel you’re the core of a marvelous human avalanche that has torn free and is flying into the future.”

Riveting - a bold, captivating love-letter to the proletarian masses and the Soviet Union. 

Jasieński folds together captivating, dangerously intelligent prose and poetic, enticing language for a literary tour de force both in praise and defense of the wretched of the earth under the yoke of capitalism.
