Description: Piotr Kropotkin, born a russian prince, served and educated in the page-guard of the russian tsar Alexander the 2., then an explorer of the vast unmapped eastern parts of Siberia, the writer of substantial scientific works on geography and biology, -later a socialist reformer, who was thrown to the Peter-Paul prison of Sct. Petersburg, from where he escaped in the most dramatic way and made it through to western europe, where he stayed and worked in exile for almost 30 years, until he returned to Russia after the revolution and died there, I think in the year of 1921. No other man in history - except Jesus and perhaps Frants of Asissi - has appeared to me more pure in spirit, more friendly of heart, more clear in understanding and at the same time more devoted to the struggle for improving the lifes of his fellow men and women than Kropotkin, the anarchist. And not many has had a more intense and dramatic life, for which he gives an account in the most sympathetic manner, focusing constantly on the life around him - at his fathers estate, at the russian court, in the wilderness, the prison, the anarchist movements in Switzerland and France, and his exile in London - rather than on his personal affairs. One of the most wonderful and at the same time informing books I've read. Do the same. m@gudnaes.dk

Review Summary: Revolutionary Saint |
Date: 2001-03-16 |
|
| |
|
Details: This is a wonderful book, outlining many basic premises of anarchist communism: what the problem is with the current system of capitalism and "representative democracy," as well as offering viable alternatives. _Words of a Rebel_ is not necessarily that in-depth, as it was intended as a more agitative work than many of works from his later years. None-the-less, the chapters on representative democracy, and the one entitled "To the Youth" are profound in their scope of compassion and concern for the common man. |
