Memoirs of a Revolutionist

By Peter Kropotkin
Memoirs of a Revolutionist by Peter Kropotkin digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The story of a man who dedicated his life to the fight for justice, even in the face of impossible odds.

Memoirs of a Revolutionist is Peter Kropotkin's autobiography and his most famous work.

Peter Kropotkin was born into a life of privilege and fortune, but ended it in exile. Heir to a princedom over thousands of serfs, he renounced his title and took up the revolutionary cause of anarchism. He dedicated his life to eradicating inequality and spreading the benefits of the earth to all humanity. He wrote the foundational books in the library of anarchism, and worked ceaselessly to overthrow capitalism.

Kropotkin tells us of his early life in the royal palace and his army service in Siberia, along with his imprisonment, daring escape, and decades-long exile. Because he speaks so much about those around him, his autobiography also functions as a gripping history of Russian politics in the second half of the 1800s.

In a world where the powerful seem to always win, it's easy to give up. Memoirs of a Revolutionist is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always a spark of hope.
