POTOK, CHAIM The Gates of November : Chronicles of the Slepak Family
New York Alfred A. Knopf, 1996 0394588673 / 9780394588674 Hard Cover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
349 pages, illustrations, cloth, dj, very good. Second printing. From the dj: From the author of THE CHOSEN and MY NAME IS ASHER LEV comes an epic work of nonfiction chronicling the stormy lives of a Jewish father and son whose stories span the entire history of the Soviet Union. Solomon Slepak, an inflexible old-guard Bolshevik--military commander, diplomat, propagandist--not only miraculously survived the murderous purges of the thirties and forties, despite his high visibility and his Jewish origins, but retained to the last his unwavering faith in the Communist Party. His son, Volodya, was raised as a true believer and easily entered the elite Moscow world of scientists and engineers--until, choosing the path of dissent, he became an internationally known 'refusenik' hero. For eighteen years he and his wife, Masha, were the object of government persecution for the 'crime' of attempting to leave the Soviet Union - five of those years lost in Siberia as punishment for hanging a banner from the balcony of their Moscow apartment which read 'Let us go to our son in Israel.' The circumstances that shaped Solomon and Volodya Slepak--their personal and public histories--form the substance of this remarkable account of a family and a nation. Chaim Potok, who first met the young Slepaks when they were still under siege in Moscow, tells their story with deep understanding and empathy.
