![]() ![]() ![]() In late 1917, they sued for peace, just as the forces of counterrevolution-supporters of the old regime, certain peasant groups, and national separatist movements-began military assaults on the Bolshevik central government. One of their more popular platforms was “peace at any cost”-a Russian exit from World War I. The most radical and least democratic of these socialists-the Bolsheviks-seized power in November 1917. Meanwhile, a grassroots socialist movement also claimed authority. In place of that autocracy, the new government tried-all at once-to manage new elections, a new constitution, and Russia’s part in the world war. In response to shortages and other economic dislocations, as well as the general mismanagement of the war effort, the Russian people overthrew Tsar Nicholas II and ended four centuries of tsarist rule. Russia was the first of the empires to collapse, in March 1917. World War I pitted Europe’s great powers against each other: Russia, France, and Britain versus Germany and Austria-Hungary.

Yes, the story is all about procreation to produce a child more specifically because of the ridicule the couple had to face because of being unable to have a child even after 12 years of marriage.Įven if it's fiction, I can totally understand the couple and what their family had to go through. Go for this book when you have heard or seem to become familiar with domestic problems faced by couples.įifth, some characters and descriptions may seem quite vulgar at times (like always when it comes to most of Perumal Murugan's writings).Īnd the most uncomfortable part while reading the story would be something you wouldn't expect mothers or anyone related to a woman would suggest in order to procreate.
