In this remarkable novel which spans eighty years of the twentieth century Andreï Makine describes beautifully but unsparingly the almost uninterrupted succession of violence misery and horror that has been visited on the Russian people since the October Revolution of 1917 For those quick to forget or too young to remember he paints a graphic portrait of those years in a threegenerational novel that is as moving as it is revealingA young Russian army doctor is sent to distant shores to bind the wounds of those in Africa the Near East and South America that are pawns in the global political chess game during the Cold War Recruited by an intelligence agent he experiences the bloody reality of revolution on the ground The book casts its eye back toward his grandfather Nikolai a Red cavalry soldier fighting the Whites in 1920 and his father whose story of World War II is invoked with a passion and force that bear comparison to the best writing on the subjectFrom the battlefields of the 1920s to the harsh African heat and dust of the desert in the 1980s from the orphanage where the narrator spent his youth to the art galleries and chic salons of the glittering new West Requiem for a Lost Empire has all the sweep and depth all the beauty and insight of the great Russian novels It is as the eminent French critic Edmonde CharlesRoux noted an astonishing novel one that will surely stand the test of time

These are the first words in a rigorous translation of the 1362 memorial poem inscribed on the Spirit Pond runestone found on the coast of Maine in 1971 This translation climaxed a decade of historÂical investigations by authors Johnson and Westin in which they address a 450 yeargap in North American history between the 1492 voyage of Columbus and the Vinland voyages of Leif Eriksson and Thorfinn Karlsefni shortly after 1000 ad After the Vinland voyages the Greenlanders developed a lucrative trade in North American furs marketed in Norway and taxed by the king But after 1300 a cooling climate caused the GreenÂland merchants to migrate to North America and the trade died To regain the trade and expand his empire in 1356 King Magnus of Norway and Sweden sent his son young King Haakon VI on an expedition to North America with Commander Paul Knutson The inscripÂtions on the Spirit Pond and Kensington runestones enable the authors to reconÂstruct the fascinating story of Magnus and his expedition more than a century before Columbus left the shores of Spain
