Reviews
"Stellar ... With a spare, sardonic style, May probes Stalin's childhood trauma, sense of charisma, and brutally violent side, humanizing him without sentimentalizing ... This is superb." -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "A riveting portrayal of a young Stalin in London." -- Financial Times "An oft-sober, occasionally droll portrait of a monster-in-the-making. Impressively, [May] finds a flicker of humanity in a person who became a mass-murdering despot." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "May provides a complex profile of [Stalin] as a young man ... Evocative and thought-provoking." -- Historical Novel Society "The novel exposes the stark contradictions of communism at every turn ... A subtly menacing portrayal of the future tyrant and mass killer." -- Kirkus Reviews "This inventive literary work ... daringly tak[es] a darkly comedic approach." -- Booklist "Gripping ... [May] combines characters--Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Rosa Luxemburg--who loom so large in history that they are difficult to think of as people at all with others whose stories and voices have been lost. And he crafts a drama both personal and political, a page-turning tale of idealism and intrigue and a cautionary tale of youthful zealotry." - Shelf Awareness "Historical facts furnish May with a cast of legends to bring to life, and he does it with verve and humour." -- The Times "A captivating thought-experiment that marks a consolidation of May's powers as a writer." -- The Telegraph "A fascinating and immersive imagining of real events that both challenges and illuminates history." -- Benjamin Myers, "Stellar ...

A lively drama of enthusiasm, utopianism, ruthlessness and backstabbing results." -- Wall Street Journal "Stellar ...

Synopsis
" Sell Us the Rope is original, adept and confident, with the spry sardonic voice of the new historical fiction: it is entertaining and in the end, deeply moving." -Hilary Mantel "A deeply satisfying novel. Incisive, inventive, frequently very funny." - The Guardian In London in 1907, a decade before the revolution, young Stalin has yet to achieve the power, nor acted on the ruthlessness, that will define his legacy. Instead Koba, as he is known, arrives in London for the 5th Congress of the Russian Communist Part where he-and many of his fellow Bolsheviks-are only allowed to remain as a nonvoting witness. But his inability to vote does not limit his ability to act, and Stalin quickly begins forging alliances with the likes of Lenin, Trotsky, Rosa Luxemburg-and a vivacious Finnish activist named Elli Vuokko. As the Congress progresses, Koba begins to take daring risks-with the young Finnish idealist, with his past relationships to the Russian government, and with his future in the party. But as he manipulates those loyal to him and seeks to discover who he will remain loyal to in return, we see a great political mind in the works, and witness the development of a dictator., "SELL US THE ROPE is original, adept and confident, with the spry sardonic voice of the new historical fiction: it is entertaining and in the end, deeply moving. What can I say, except that I wish I had written it myself?" Hilary Mantel

    Excellent prices on used books in great condition. Shipped out quickly. Product condition is accurate to rating in listing. Thanks! NOTE: For this particular book (I ordered several), it came in a soft cover rather than hard cover as the listing stated. I contacted the seller and they responded promptly. They agreed that it was a listing error and provided me with a full refund for this book (without return required) proving they are both a responsible and trustworthy seller.

    This book arrived within the time period given and was in the 'very good' condition described. Unfortunately, only being packaged in a plastic bag to traverse the Atlantic meant that all four corners got a battering (I would be happy to pay bit more in future for a bit of cardboard support in packaging) but all in all, the price was good and overall service for books that are difficult to get over here, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this seller. Will buy again from them.
