"On Saturday, January 13, 1917, an ocean liner docks in New York Harbor. Among the disembarking emigrants is one Lev Davidovich Bronshtein-better known by his nom de guerre, Leon Trotsky. Bronshtein has been on the run for a decade, driven from his beloved Russia after escaping political exile in Siberia, his companion and two sons in tow. He lives and would die for a worker's revolution, at any cost-but is he ready to become an American? In the weeks leading up to the February Revolution that will see Lenin's Bolsheviks in power, Bronshtein haunts the streets, newspaper offices, and socialist gathering places of New York City, wrestling with the difficult questions of his personal revolutionary ideology, his place in his own family, his relationship to Lenin, and, above all, his conscience. Master of espionage fiction Robert Littell brings to fictional life the ten weeks the world-famous revolutionary spent in the Bronx in this extraordinary meditation on purpose, passion, and the price of progress"--
Biography
Robert Littell gilt als Meister des amerikanischen Spionageromans. Sein Buch »Die kalte Legende« wurde von der Presse als »einer der besten Agententhriller, die je geschrieben wurden« bezeichnet, und steht ganz in der Tradition von John le Carré. Er erhielt dafür den Deutschen Krimipreis 2007 in der Kategorie »Internationale Krimis«. Bevor er sich dem Schreiben zuwandte, arbeitete der Autor als Newsweek-Korrespondent im Nahen Osten. Der Autor lebt heute in Frankreich.
