Exceptionnel par sa stature, son non-conformisme vestimentaire, sa liberté de parole, son insolence, son courage, louri Dombrovski (1909-1978) a tout vécu : la relégation et la prison à Alma-Ata... Il meurt juste au lendemain de la publication, à Moscou, de son livre le plus magistral : La Faculté de l’inutile. --M.-M. Ferrand - BIBLIO 46 Livres de Russie English translation of Yury Dombrovsky's massive, important novel, first published in Russian in 1978, reveals another master of the Stalinist era who can stand alongside Solzhenitsyn and Bulgakov. Dombrovsky's tale of an exiled intellectual who, in the far province of Alma-Ata, becomes an archeologist and is arrested and interrogated by a Stalinist prosecutor (who will later himself become a target of the Great Terror), is largely autobiographical. It is also vivid and courageous fiction, bringing to life a host of stunning characters including a young archeologist, an ex-priest obsessed with Christ's betrayal in the Gospels, and an eccentric street artist with a penchant for outlandish attire and evocative, illogical paintings. The Faculty of Useless Knowledge is the crowning achievement by the author of The Keeper of Antiquities . sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In this story, Zybin, a student of Law and Humanities (perceived as the Faculty of Useless Knowledge by Stalinist interrogators) is caught up in a show-trial. In his battle with the regime, he is sustained by memories, until, miraculously, he emerges alive. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

My memory of this novel was the iconic depiction of dread. Stalin’s Terror allowed human self doubt to have lethal manifestation. I pondered that while walking today. I truly hate the day after thanksgiving. I feel estranged. My wife always works and I’m left to my few, futile, devices. Perhaps my plight is more Ballard and less NKVD. Here’s to my self awareness.
