Reseñas editoriales
Andrei Makine's story of love and cruelty follows "professional revolutionary" Elias Almeda as he struggles to reconcile his dreams for humanity with his personal wellbeing amidst a ruthless war of independence in post-colonial Africa. At once somber and idealistic, performer Gregory St. John captures the bristling passion of the young revolutionary with Rilke-esque lyrical poignancy. Even as he describes the inhumanity of war, St. John manages to find the familiar tone of a jaded youth with lofty dreams. A helpless bystander to his parent's murder, Almeda's political resolve is nourished as he travels from Cuba to the Soviet Union, studying insurrectionary tactics and Marxist ideology. Returning home, Almeda finds his efforts to build a better Africa continually frustrated by the relentless war that surrounds him.
