Alexander Zinoviev. The Rejected Prometheus

Alexander Zinoviev. The Rejected Prometheus

His biography could serve as the basis for an adventure series. He was pursued by the NKVD, fought on the front lines, was expelled from the country for dissent, gained worldwide recognition, and traveled all over the world. The son... of a simple peasant, hailing from a remote village, he became an intellectual leader for several generations of domestic and foreign philosophers. His "sociological novels" earned him the fame of "the first writer of the 21st century" long before the new century began. He was both idolized and overthrown, called a genius and a madman, adored and hated, awarded and targeted for assassination.

P. Fokin's book is the first biography of Alexander Zinoviev (1922-2006), based on rich documentary material. Unusual in form, it represents an attempt to grasp the "Zinoviev phenomenon" - a writer, philosopher, logician, sociologist, artist, poet, religious thinker, public figure, and educator.
