Wave of Terror: A Novel
- by Theodore Odrach (Author), T.F. Rigelhof (Introduction), Emma Odrach (Translator)
- Paperback (English) – January 1 2008
- Kindle Edition
- " This novel is a major literary discovery, and Odrach is drawing favorable comparisons with such eminent writers as Chekhov and Solzhenitsyn. Odrach wrote in Ukrainian, while living an exile's life in Toronto. This remarkable book is a microcosm of Soviet history, and Odrach provides a first-hand account of events during the Stalinist era that newsreels never covered. It has special value as a sensitive and realistic portrait of the times, while capturing the internal drama of the characters with psychological concision. Odrach creates a powerful and moving picture, and manages to show what life was really like under the brutal dictatorship of Stalin, and brings cataclysmic events of history to a human scale. "

- " Wave of Terror by Theodore Odrach
- This remarkable novel, hidden from the English-speaking world for more than 60 years, begins with the Red Army invasion of a small, impoverished village in 1939. Ivan Kulik has just become headmaster of School Number 7 in the Pinsk Marshes. Through his eyes we witness the tragedy of Stalinist domination, where people are randomly deported to labor camps or tortured in Zovty Prison. His passion for Marusia, a green-eyed, unpredictable young woman, is a theme throughout the book.
- Odrach "captures the internal drama of his characters with psychological concision". He is witness to some of the greatest brutalities of the 20th century. "
