«Les vents barbares» is the historical novel by Philippe Chlous, published by Manufacture de livres éditions in paperback (286 pages, in French).
In 1968, a senior official of the Soviet regime reveals to his son the secret of his origins: in 1920, during the Russian Civil War, a Jewish boy in Siberia witnesses the massacre of his family and is taken in by the enigmatic Baron Ungern-Sternberg, the «Mad Baron». Through his eyes, the «Savage Division» is described: an army of Cossacks, Mongols and Japanese led by a man who dreams of creating an empire east of Lake Baikal and restoring divine meaning to a decadent Western civilization.
Novel originally published in French in 2016, framed in the tradition of 20th-century historical fiction.
Recommended for readers interested in the Russian Civil War, Central Asia and historical narratives with a mystical undertone.
