Published in 1979. 208 pages Herzen is perhaps the greatest social thinker that Russia ever produced. This book is a collection of essays written between 1847 and 1851. These were years of high promise and terrible disillusion. Herzen was eye-witness to the 1848 revolution in Paris. He rejects all appeals to history for infallible political guidance an all attempts to find a universal social solution. This book was first made  available in paperback, after translations by Moura Budberg and Richard Wollheim.
