Historian Maurice Casey reveals the connections and disconnections of a group of forgotten communist activists whose lives collided in 1920s Moscow: a brilliant Irish translator a maverick author the rebel daughters of an East London Jewish family and a family of determined German anti - fascists. The dramatic and interlocking histories of the O Flahertys Cohens and Leonhards offer an intimate insight into the legacies of the Russian Revolution from its earliest idealism through to the brutal Stalinist purges and beyond. Hotel Lux uncovers a world of forgotten radicals who saw their hopes and dreams crash against reality yet retained their faith in a beautiful future for all. Culminating in a queer love story that saw the daughters of the Cohens and Leonhards create an enduring partnership even as their parents political visions crumbled this is a multi - generational rebel odyssey and a history of international communism one which looks as much to the future as it does to the past.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Hotel Lux An Intimate History Of Communism's Forgotten Radicals\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Casey Maurice J\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Footnote Press Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781804440995\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 418 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 10\/8\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Revolutionary Groups \u0026amp; Movements","brand":"Casey Maurice J","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51337159344433,"sku":"IN-G-9781804440995","price":33.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781804440995-hotel-lux-an-intimate-history-of-communisms-forgotten-radicals","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
