How did this unimaginable transformation take place?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a panoramic sweep, stretching from St. Petersburg and Moscow to the remotest villages of a sprawling empire, Miéville uncovers the catastrophes, intrigues and inspirations of 1917, in all their passion, drama and strangeness.
