{"product_id":"october-1","title":"October","description":"In February of 1917 Russia was a backward, autocratic monarchy, mired in an unpopular war; by October, after not one but two revolutions, it had become the world’s first workers’ state, straining to be at the vanguard of global revolution. How did this unimaginable transformation take place?\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;In a panoramic sweep, stretching from St Petersburg and Moscow to the remotest villages of a sprawling empire, Miéville uncovers the catastrophes, intrigues and inspirations of 1917, in all their passion, drama and strangeness. Intervening in long-standing historical debates, but told with the reader new to the topic especially in mind, here is a breathtaking story of humanity at its greatest and most desperate; of a turning point for civilisation that still resonates loudly today. \u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;China Miéville tells the extraordinary story of this pivotal moment in history.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57306097910142,"sku":"NW9781784782788","price":11.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781784782788.jpg?v=1778694667","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/october-1","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
