Críticas:
"Surely one of the most moving accounts of revolutionary experience ever written." --Neal Ascherson, "New York Review of Books"
"Intense, vivid, glowing with energy and power . . . A wonderful picture of revolution and revolutionaries . . . The power of the novel is in its portrayal of the men who are involved." --"Manchester Evening News"
"Nothing in it has dated . . . It is less an autobiography than a sustained, incandescent lyric (half-pantheist, half-surrealist) of rebellion and battle." --"Times Literary Supplement"
"Probably the most remarkable of his novels . . . Of all the European writers who have taken revolution as their theme, Serge is second only to Conrad . . . Here is a writer with a magnificent eye for the panoramic sweep of historical events and an unsparingly precise moral insight." --Francis King, "Sunday Telegraph"
""Birth of Our Power" is one of the finest romances of revolution ever written, and confirms Serge as an outstanding chronicler of his turbulent era . . . As an epic, "Birth of Our Power" has lost none of its strength." --Lawrence M. Bensky, "New York Times"

Birth of Our Power is an epic novel set in Spain, France, and Russia during the heady revolutionary years 1917–1919. Serge’s tale begins in the spring of 1917, the third year of mass slaughter in the blood-and-rain-soaked trenches of World War I, when the flames of revolution suddenly erupt in Russia and Spain. Although the Spanish uprising eventually fizzles, in Russia the workers, peasants, and common soldiers are able to take power and hold it. Serge’s “tale of two cities” is constructed from the opposition between Barcelona, the city “we” could not take, and Petrograd, the starving, beleaguered capital of the Russian Revolution besieged by counter-revolutionary Whites. Between the romanticism of radicalized workers awakening to their own power in a sun-drenched Spanish metropolis to the grim reality of workers clinging to power in Russia’s dark, frozen revolutionary outpost. The novel was composed a decade after the revolution in Leningrad, where Serge was living in semicaptivity because of his declared opposition to Stalin’s dictatorship over the revolution.

Birth of Our Power is an epic novel set in Spain, France, and Russia during the heady revolutionary years 1917?1919. Serge's tale begins in the spring of 1917, the third year of mass slaughter in the blood-and-rain-soaked trenches of World War I. When the flames of revolution suddenly erupt in Russia and Spain, Europe is "burning at both ends." Although the Spanish uprising eventually fizzles, in Russia the workers, peasants, and common soldiers are able to take power and hold it.Serge?s ?tale of two cities? is constructed from the opposition between Barcelona, the city ?we? could not take, and Petrograd, the starving, beleaguered capital of the Russian Revolution besieged by counter-revolutionary Whites. Between the romanticism of radicalized workers awakening to their own power in a sun-drenched Spanish metropolis to the grim reality of workers clinging to power in Russia?s dark, frozen revolutionary outpost. From ?victory in defeat? to ?defeat in victory."The novel was composed a decade after the revolution in Leningrad, where Serge was living in semicaptivity because of his declared opposition to Stalin?s dictatorship over the revolution.
