Leo Tolstoy lies dying in Astapovo, a remote railway station. Members of the press from around the world have descended upon this sleepy hamlet to record his passing for a public suddenly ravenous for celebrity news. They have been joined by a film company whose cinematographer, Nikolai Gribshin, is capturing the extraordinary scene and learning how to wield his camera as a political tool. At this historic moment he comes across two men -- the scientist, Professor Vorobev, and the revolutionist, Joseph Stalin -- who have radical, mysterious plans for the future. Soon they will accompany him on a long, cold march through an era of brutality and absurdity. <em>The Commissariat of Enlightenment</em> is a mesmerizing novel of ideas that brilliantly links the tragedy and comedy of the Russian Revolution with the global empire of images that occupies our imaginations today.</p>...1204171The Commissariat of Enlightenment188229https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-commissariat-of-enlightenment-9780061855948/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1412348/f5babbe7-c95a-4fef-b6ee-2a834c9ab06d.jpg?v=638725840858970000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20099780061855948_W3siaWQiOiI1MjI1OGUwYy05YWY5LTRjMWEtOWMxZC03YzU3MjhmMmJjNTUiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIyOSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQxLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE4OCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMDQtMTJUMjI6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780061855948_<p>Russia, 1910.
