Brilliant young artist Pasha Kalmenov is arrested and sent without trial to a forced-labor camp in the Arctic gulag. This is a camp like no other. Although conditions are harsh and degrading, the prisoners are not to be worked to death in a coal mine or on a construction project. Their task is to forge the drawings of Leonardo da Vinci. There is a high price to be paid for failing to reach the required standard of perfection; particularly as the camp commandant has his own secret agenda. When the executions begin, Pasha realizes that only his artistic talent can protect him. But for how long? Worse horrors are to come--if he survives them, will life still be worth living? 650 0 $a Political prisoners $z Soviet Union $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Art forgers $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200502010107.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200221010327.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E16C318C547711EA8C3FA95797128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
