He was an anarchist, an agitator, a revolutionary, an exile, a historian of his times, as well as a brilliant novelist, and in \u003ci\u003eMemoirs of a Revolutionary\u003c\/i\u003e he devotes all his passion and genius to describing this extraordinary--and exemplary--career. Serge tells of his upbringing among exiles and conspirators, of his involvement with the notorious Bonnot Gang and his years in prison, of his role in the Russian Revolution, and of the Revolution's collapse into despotism and terror. Expelled from the Soviet Union, Serge went to Paris, where he evaded the KGB and the Nazis before fleeing to Mexico. \u003ci\u003eMemoirs of a Revolutionary\u003c\/i\u003e recounts a thrilling life on the front lines of history and includes vivid portraits not only of Trotsky, Lenin, and Stalin but of countless other figures who struggled to remake the world. \u003cbr\u003e Peter Sedgwick's fine translation of \u003ci\u003eMemoirs of a Revolutionary\u003c\/i\u003e was abridged when first published in 1963. This is the first edition in English to present the entirety of Serge's book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590174517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.01h x 5.07w x 1.22d","brand":"Victor Serge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917286314165,"sku":"9781590174517","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d22ce417-4708-4b35-b3e2-d7c7996bb644.jpg?v=1687281563","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/memoirs-of-a-revolutionary-9781590174517","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
