Hugo seemed to embody a distinctly central European experience of his time, of people trapped between Hitler and Stalin. Using the unvarnished account found in Hugo's notebooks, George Huppert takes the reader on a tour of the writer's life from his provincial youth to his education and radicalization in Vienna; to Moscow where he meets Mayakovski and where he is imprisoned during Stalin's purges; through the difficult war years and return to Vienna; to his further struggles with the communist party and his blossoming as a writer in the 1950s. Through all the twists and turns of this story, George remains a faithful presence, guiding the way and placing Hugo's remarkable life in context. Comrade Huppert is a story of displacement and exile, the price of party loyalty, and the toll of war and terror on the mind of this emblematic figure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695460286752,"sku":"NEW0253019788","price":27.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81fOQYDT_hL.jpg?v=1779380947","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/comrade-huppert-a-poet-in-stalins-world-0253019788","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
