Book
The White Nights of St Petersburg
First published 1967
Young people in St Petersburg encounter the widening gulf between imperial government and revolutionary opposition. Surveillance, underground organisation and personal loyalty draw them toward the upheavals that will destroy the old regime.
Trease presents the Russian Revolution through social inequality, political repression and the expectations of a new generation. The city’s courtly splendour and working districts reveal incompatible versions of Russia existing side by side.
