Descrição
The Gates of November: The epic true story of a Jewish family. The father is a high-ranking Communist officer, a Jew who survived Stalins purges. The son is a “refusenik”, who risked his life and happiness to protest everything his father held dear. Now, Chaim Potok, beloved author of the award-winning novels The Chosen and My Name is Asher Lev, unfolds the gripping true story of a father, a son, and a conflict that spans Soviet history. Drawing on taped interviews and his harrowing visits to Russia, Potok traces the public and privates lives of the Slepak family: Their passions and ideologies, their struggles to reconcile their identities as Russians and as Jews, their willingness to fight – and die – for diametrically opposed political beliefs.
