White Sea. Serge V.

Before the writer and revolutionary Victor Serge was sent from CCCR in 1936, all his manuscripts were seized. The story “The White Sea” and the poems that made up this book later managed to restore from memory.

“Who are you? Why are you? Where are you going? What a banal! Such questions are not asked here. Here is “thirty or fifty kilometers of tundra, twelve or fifteen days on a sleigh, what's the difference?.. If we suddenly disappear... Suppose we will blow the wind and take off to the North Pole - who will notice it at all, huh?”

In Russian it comes out for the first time.
