We Had a Great Epoch

"We Had a Great Epoch" is the first book of the cycle "Kharkiv Trilogy," which also includes the novels "Teenager Savenko" and "Young Scoundrel." The novel tells about the writer's parents and his school years. Childhood, which fell on the first post-war years, was difficult but happy in its own way. In the pages of this book, Limonov presents his version of the Great Epoch, his own perspective on the Soviet Empire, formed against the imposed external narrative. 

Quote: "My view is not from the eyes of a victim of the epoch, certainly not from the perspective of a representative of the intellectual class, but from the common people. In a certain sense, my version of the epoch is a folkloric version." 

The covers feature iconic portraits of Eduard Limonov, created during the years each book of the series was written. Eduard Limonov's books have been popular bestsellers for many years. This is high-class literature and interesting reading for both fans of the writer and those who are not yet familiar with his work.
