«Koba el Temible: La risa y los Veinte Millones» is the memoir and chronicle by Martin Amis, in hardcover (328 pages), published by Editorial Anagrama.
Martin Amis combines personal memoir, chronicle and political reflection to examine Western intellectuals' tolerance of Stalinism. The book revolves around Stalin's legacy and a specific death, set against the aphorism that a million deaths is mere statistics.
The book belongs to the Panorama de narrativas collection (no. 577). It is a sequel to Experience, Martin Amis's autobiography, and features a translation by Antonio-Prometeo Moya Valle.
For readers interested in twentieth-century history, Stalinism and non-fiction literature with a personal perspective.
