Peter Kropotkin
Memoirs of a Revolutionist is Peter Kropotkin’s autobiographical account of his journey from a Russian aristocrat and army officer to a leading anarchist thinker. The book traces his disillusionment with autocratic rule, his growing sympathy for peasants and workers, and his involvement in revolutionary activities across Russia and Europe. Kropotkin reflects on imprisonment, exile, and escape, while also portraying the moral ideals, intellectual ferment, and personal sacrifices that shaped the nineteenth-century revolutionary movement.
