Tres minutos

In this book, Ismaíl Kadaré traces a labyrinth of versions about a mythical episode from the Stalinist era and, however, negligible due to its duration. This is the telephone conversation between Stalin and Boris Pasternak in June 1934, which barely lasted three minutes and which in the Soviet Union and the countries of the Eastern Bloc gave rise to all kinds of rumors and interpretations, further worsening the image. of the great Russian writer.
