'One of the great Russian autobiographies  as fresh now as the day it was written - and the day
it was lived' Julian Barnes In 1943  Konstantin Paustovsky  the Soviet Union's most revered
author  started out on his masterwork - The Story of a Life  a grand  novelistic memoir of a
life lived on the fast-unfurling frontiers of Russian history. Eventually published over six
volumes  it would cement Paustovsky's reputation as the voice of Russia around the world  and
see him nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Taking its reader from Paustovsky's
Ukrainian youth  struggling with a family on the verge of collapse and the first flourishes of
creative ambition  to his experiences working as a paramedic on Russia's frontlines and then as
a journalist covering the country's violent spiral into revolution  The Story of a Life offers
a portrait of an artistic journey like no other.
