Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive examination of the Russian social, political and literary landscape in the mid-19th century. The author's personal experience of political exile and imprisonment in Siberia lends a rare, first-hand perspective to the exploration of major cultural and intellectual movements of the time. In a vivid and intimate account, the author traces the development of progressive ideas in Russia, from the Decembrist Revolt of 1825 to the rise of revolutionary thought in the 1840s. The book shines a light on the complex relationship between literature, philosophy, and politics in shaping Russian society and prompts contemplation of the struggles and motivations of intellectuals living under oppressive regimes. The author's reflections on themes such as liberty, justice, and the role of the individual in society make this an extraordinary and insightful account of 19th-century Russian history.
