Thus begins the history of a generation of Polish literati born at the fin de siècle. They sat in Café Ziemianska and believed that the world moved on what they said there. Caviar and Ashes tells the story of the young avant-gardists of the early 1920's who became the radical Marxists of the late 1920's. They made the choice for Marxism before Stalinism, before socialist realism, before Marxism meant the imposition of Soviet communism in Poland. It ended tragically. Marci Shore begins with this generation's coming of age after the First World War and narrates a half-century-long journey through futurist manifestos and proletarian poetry, Stalinist terror and Nazi genocide, a journey from the literary cafés to the cells of prisons and the corridors of power. Using newly available archival materials from Poland and Russia, as well as from Ukraine and Israel, Shore explores what it meant to live Marxism as a European, an East European, and a Jewish intellectual in the twentieth century.CommunismPolandHistory20th centuryPolandIntellectual life1918-1945PolandIntellectual life1945-1989Electronic books.CommunismHistory320.53/23/09438Shore Marci1056798MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452201803321Caviar and ashes2491415UNINA
