Bernard Circas

Bernard Circas is a Sordish poet, novelist, short story writer and communist politician. He is acclaimed for his lyrical flow and was regarded to be the leader of the Sordish avant-garde. His early writings were heavily influenced by the social, cultural, and economic problems of his home city of Deyr. His work earned him the description of a ‘romantic communist.’ He joined the Red Youth during the Sordish Civil War, and fled Sordland after the war was over, surviving the purge of Tarquin Soll. He moved to United Contana and studied sociology at the Communist University of Kyow. There, he was influenced by the artistic experiments of Contanan poets who advocated futurism, as well as the ideological vision of Malenyev. His literary works are widely regarded as seminal contributions to Sordish literature and have garnered numerous international accolades. He was the second individual from Sordland to receive the prestigious Vulpitzer Award in 1948, following Herman Equa. Due to his political views, however, his works have been subject to a ban in Sordland since 1930. In 1950, Bernard returned to Sordland following the departure of Tarquin Soll. He organized strikes against Sordish government’s failure to include amnesty laws and started to become a popular figure in Sordish politics. He ran as an independent in the 1953 General Elections and became the first communist to be elected to the Grand National Assembly of Sordland.
