A Herzen Reader by Alexander Herzen
Presents in English for the first time one hundred essays and editorials by the radical Russian thinker Alexander Herzen (18121870). Herzen wrote most of these pieces for The Bell, a revolutionary newspaper he launched with the poet Nikolai Ogaryov in London in 1857.
The strength of A Herzen Reader lies in allowing all Alexander Herzen's voices to speak for themselves, permitting new readers to draw their own conclusions about which was the man himself
Alexander Herzen (1812–1870), a memoirist, essayist, novelist, publisher, and editor, was one of the most influential figures in Russia’s political, social, and economic debates from the 1840s until his death. Among his most important works are a novel, Who Is to Blame? (1846); a book of essays, From the Other Shore (1850); and his autobiography, My Past and Thoughts (1861).
