Synopsis

Leonard Rivkin’s stories of life in the post-World War II Soviet Union were inspired by English philosopher Thomas Hobbes’ words – “homo homini lupus” (“Man is Wolf to Man”). In Hobbes’ Hunt, Rivkin explores all the twists and turns taken to survive life as it truly developed there, in that dreamed-of socialist Utopia, with its raging violence and criminality, post-war gangs, pure love rising from filth and despair, and inescapable anti-Semitism. Drawn from the author’s personal knowledge and experience, these are stories from one who experienced and survived that system.
