Memoirs Of A Revolutionist

Memoirs of a Revolutionist is an autobiography written by the Russian anarchist and revolutionary, Peter Kropotkin. The book recounts Kropotkin's life from his childhood in the Russian aristocracy to his years as a political prisoner and exile, and finally to his role as a leader in the anarchist movement. Kropotkin describes his experiences as a young man serving in the Russian military, his disillusionment with the system, and his decision to join the revolutionary movement. He also details his time in prison, where he was subjected to harsh conditions and mistreatment, and his eventual escape to Western Europe. Throughout the book, Kropotkin shares his political beliefs and his vision for a society based on mutual aid and cooperation rather than competition and hierarchy. He discusses the failures of the Russian Revolution of 1905 and the need for a more radical and far-reaching social revolution. Memoirs of a Revolutionist provides a unique perspective on the revolutionary movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as insight into the life and beliefs of one of the most influential anarchists of his time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
