Paroles D'un Révolté, 1885

Résumé

The stimulating autobiography of the Russian anarchist and scientist Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921), written in English, is a disarmingly humble page-turning adventure of a read. The son of an aristocratic serf-owning soldier, Kropotkin vividly describes his wide-ranging experiences, encounters and intellectual development. Educated at a military school in St Petersburg, he becomes a page to Tsar Alexander II yet nevertheless begins to develop as a radical.
