About this copy
The first novel in Solzhenitsyn's monumental Red Wheel cycle, August 1914 follows the Russian army's ill-fated advance into East Prussia and its destruction at Tannenberg. Told through sixty-odd vivid chapters, it brings to life common soldiers, headquarters intrigue and the commanders themselves, right up to Grand Duke Nicholas. Sunday Times hailed it as 'a marvellous achievement'.
This copy is a handsome hardback in its original dust jacket, in the Book Club Associates edition, sixth impression, 1974.
Condition
- Book
- Good - a sound, tight binding with clean boards and firm pages. Light age toning and some foxing to the page edges.
- Dust jacket
- Good - intact and complete, with some edge wear, light creasing and soiling to the rear.
A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.
