Book Description
Until nineteen ninety-one, fifteen republics made up the Soviet Union. In December nineteen twenty-two, Byelorussia, Transcaucasia, Russia and Ukraine were the four founding republics that signed a treaty creating the USSR. During the nineteen twenty-four national demarcation, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan were formed from parts of Russia's Turkestan and two Soviet dependencies: Bukharan, and Khorezm. Five years later, Tajikistan was divided from Uzbekistan, and, Transcaucasian dissolved with the constitution of nineteen thirty-six, resulting in the elevation of its constituent republics of Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia to Union Republics, while Kazakhstan and Kirghizia were split off from Russian. In nineteen forty, Moldavia was formed from parts of the Northern Bukovina, Ukraine and Bessarabia, while Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia were also admitted into the union, which generally, wasn't recognized by most members of the international community and frowned upon as an illegal occupation.

The Death of Grass
Author: John Christopher
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141192011
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
A thought experiment in future-shock survivalism' Robert MacFarlane 'Gripping ... of all science fiction's apocalypses, this is one of the most haunting' Financial Times WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ROBERT MACFARLANE A post-apocalyptic vision of the world pushed to the brink by famine, John Christopher's science fiction masterpiece The Death of Grass includes an introduction by Robert MacFarlane in Penguin Modern Classics. At first the virus wiping out grass and crops is of little concern to John Custance. It has decimated Asia, causing mass starvation and riots, but Europe is safe and a counter-virus is expected any day. Except, it turns out, the governments have been lying to their people. When the deadly disease hits Britain, society starts to descend into barbarism. As John and his family try to make it across country to the safety of his brother's farm in a hidden valley, their humanity is tested to its very limits. A chilling psychological thriller and one of the greatest post-apocalyptic novels ever written, The Death of Grass shows people struggling to hold on to their identities as the familiar world disintegrates - and the terrible price they must pay for surviving. John Christopher (1922-2012) was the pen name of Samuel Youd, a prolific writer of science fiction. His novels were popular during the 1950s and 1960s, most notably The Death Of Grass (1956), The World in Winter (1962), and Wrinkle in the Skin (1965), all works depicting ordinary people struggling in the midst of apocalyptic catastrophes. In 1966 he started writing science-fiction for adolescents; The Tripods trilogy, the Prince in Waiting trilogy (also known as the Sword of the Spirits trilogy) and The Lotus Caves are still widely read today. Ifyou enjoyed The Death of Grass, you might like John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
