It concerns the Soviet takeover of Estonia immediately after the war. Depressing in some ways through its depiction of the manipulation of families, yet it was easy to read. For that we should presumably thank the translator as much as the auth. I can see why Estonians like it so much. ( ) I had some reservations with this one but it is difficult to discuss those as they would basically give away most of the plot and the ending. A way to sum it up in a more general fashion is to say that it was a bit hard to suspend belief that some of the characters acted in the way that they did and that some of the events happened so easily. Otherwise the atmosphere of the post-World War II Soviet occupation here was well realized and the insidious nature and psychological abuse of how the population was manipulated is effectively portrayed, especially in the disturbing use of children as innocent and indoctrinated informers. Some of the abrupt jump-cuts could be forgiven from a first-time novelist who is more known as a television and movie producer. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In Tallinn in 1946 a young boy is transfixed by the beauty of a luxurious cream-coloured car gliding down the street. It is a Russian Pobeda, a car called Victory. The sympathetic driver invites the boy for a ride and enquires about his family. Soon the boy's father disappears. Ilmar Taska's debut novel captures the distrust and fear among Estonians living under Soviet occupation after World War II. The reader is transported to a world seen through the eyes of a young boy, where it is difficult to know who is right and who is wrong, be they occupiers or occupied. Resistance fighters, exiles, informants and torturers all find themselves living in Stalin's long shadow. Ilmar Taska is best known in his native Estonia as a film director and producer. Pobeda 1946: A Car Called Victory is his first full novel, and is based on a prize-winning short story from 2014. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
