En savoir plus sur le livre
In his latest book, the great historian of Russia, Orlando Figes, offers an original perspective on the Russian Revolution, viewing this historical upheaval not as a standalone event but as a century-long attempt to realize utopian dreams. With his elegant and insightful narrative, he provides a clarifying, new perspective on the Russian Revolution. While other historians have focused on the years before and after 1917, Figes demonstrates how the revolution, although it changed form between the famine of 1891 and the fall of the Soviet regime in 1991, was driven throughout the entire century by the same ideological fire. Figes outlines three generations, evoking an accessible and shocking portrayal of several key moments of the twentieth century in his authoritative and distinctive style.
