"We Had a Great Epoch" is the first book in the "Kharkov Trilogy" series, which also includes the novels "Teenager Savenko" and "Young Scoundrel". The novel tells the story of the writer's parents and school years. His childhood, which occurred in the first post-war years, was difficult, but happy in its own way. On the pages of this book, Limonov presents his own version of the Great Epoch, his own view of the Soviet empire, formed in spite of what was imposed from the outside. "My view is not through the eyes of a victim of the era, in no way a view of a representative of the intelligentsia class, but from the crowd of the people. In a certain sense, my version of the era is a folklore version." "My view is not through the eyes of a victim of the era, in no way a view of a representative of the intelligentsia class, but from the crowd of the people. In a certain sense, my version of the era is a folklore version.” The covers are decorated with iconic portraits of Eduard Limonov, taken during the years of writing each book in the series.
