| Abstract
|
:
|
The memoir of Russian writer and thinker Alexander Herzen (1812-1870). Herzen is known as the "father of Russian socialism". With his writings, many composed while exiled in London, he attempted to influence the situation in Russia, contributing to a political climate that lead to the emancipation of the serfs in 1861. The illegitimate son of a wealthy Russian landowner, he became one of the most important revolutionary and intellectual figures of his time: as theorist, polemicist, propagandist, and political actor. Fifty years after his death, Lenin revered him as the father of Russian revolutionary socialism. Tolstoy said he had never met another man "with so rare a combination of scintillating brilliance and depth." His story of his privileged childhood among the Russian aristocracy is lit with the insight of a great novelist.
