Buchbeschreibung (1. ed.), 8° (22x15), 280 p., publisher's hardbound with jacket, tight and clean, well cared, In The Truth That Killed Georgi Markov offers a devastating critique of a Communist Party riddled with corruption and decadence, of a leader utterly controlled by his Russian masters. Looking further back, to his experience as a student and engineer, he captures the humiliation, absurdity and heroism of ordinary Bulgarian life. In a book of great power, subtlety and humour, Markov creates a gallery of characters who begin to take on a haunting, symbolic significance: the secret policeman who gets drunk every night and interrogates imaginary prisoners, the minor Party official who orders his fellow factory workers to guard a vat of vaseline. Most telling of all, he describes a series of meetings with the President, Todor Zhivkov; it was these descriptions, many now believe, which let to his assassination. Markov was assassinated on a London street via a micro-engineered pellet that might have contained ricin. Contemporary newspaper accounts reported that he had been stabbed in the leg with an umbrella delivering a poisoned pellet, wielded by someone associated with the Bulgarian Secret Service. This is the first dissident work to come out of Bulgaria, a country about which astonishingly little is known, a country where dissidents are not allowed to exist.
