The long and interesting life of Vera Alexandrovna Florenskaya (1900–1996), the granddaughter of a priest, coincided in time with the entire twentieth century. Her memoirs reflect the main dramatic events of the century in our country: revolution, World War I, pre-war years, arrests, camps and exile, World War II, rehabilitation, years of “stagnation.” The author talks about his childhood and youth, about his studies, about his marriage to Leonid Yakovlevich Ginzburg, later a famous lawyer, about Ginzburg’s arrest and his wanderings in the camps, and about Florenskaya’s own stay in exile. The book is another important historical document about man’s confrontation with the “wolfhound age.”
