Primeiro romance politico do autor, lancado originalmente em 1990, mas ainda inedito no Brasil, REDENCAO e uma satira ferina a esquerda tradicional. A trama aborda a trajetoria de um velho lider trotskista, cosmopolita e desenraizado que, em Paris, acompanha a queda do ditador romeno Nicolau Ceavcescu, preso e executado no Natal de 1989. Chamado a reavaliar suas teorias com as mudancas que varreram o bloco comunista no inverno de 1989-1990, culminando com a queda do Muro de Berlim, Ezra Einstein, o lider revolucionario, decide convocar um Congresso Mundial de Emergencia para discutir uma politica unida para enfrentar as desconcertantes mudancas na Europa
