Viktor Shklovsky — founding father of Russian Formalism and architect of the concept of defamiliarisation — presents his lived experience of war, political upheaval, and exile with a voice that is at once unsentimental and deeply personal. The memoir details Shklovsky's involvement with the Provisional Government, his escape from Bolshevik persecution, and his eventual exile, weaving historical witness with literary self-reflection. Translated and edited by Richard Sheldon, with a historical introduction by Sidney Monas, this revised edition makes Shklovsky's singular perspective accessible to English-language readers, standing as an essential document of the Russian avant-garde and the catastrophic birth of the Soviet state.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888006934747,"sku":"2026200009550-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c9471c3d-371b-4a48-a563-73e9fff2a8d6.png?v=1781752352","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009550-secondhand-a-sentimental-journey-memoirs-1917-1922","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
