Excerpt: "Let the stars fade. Open the Book of Earth. Out of the Painted Desert, in broad noon, Walking through pine-clad bluffs, in an air like wine, I came to the dreadful brink. I saw, with a swimming brain, the solid earth Splitting apart, into two hemispheres, Cleft, as though by the axe of an angry god. On the brink of the Grand Canyon,"

Alfred Noyes''s ''Rada'' is a captivating and lyrical novel set in the backdrop of revolutionary Russia. The book follows the story of Rada, a passionate and independent young woman who becomes embroiled in the political turmoil of the time. Noyes''s writing style is rich and evocative, drawing the reader into the vividly portrayed world of early 20th century Russia. The novel''s exploration of themes such as love, sacrifice, and freedom make it a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today. ''Rada'' is a prime example of Noyes''s mastery of storytelling and his ability to create compelling characters that stay with the reader long after the final page. Alfred Noyes, a well-respected poet and novelist, drew inspiration for ''Rada'' from his own interest in Russian history and literature. His deep understanding of the cultural and political context of the time shines through in the nuanced portrayal of the characters and their struggles. I highly recommend ''Rada'' to any reader looking for a thought-provoking and beautifully written novel that offers insight into a tumultuous period in history.
