Since there are not many people who remember my birthday other than banks, it was important for me to receive this book as a gift from a valuable person who remembers my birthday. The book tells about the revolutionary romantic generation of the 1940s, which created the first sparks before the revolution in Russia, and their years of exile. In the book, where passages from the letters of Herzen, Bakunin and other figures are quoted, a richness of style and expressive power that makes their romanticism visible is striking at first glance. A second issue that I care about in such biographical texts and that I think is successfully revealed in this book is that such texts, which bring history and theory closer to human life, offer a more actual and lively understanding of history. The gap between the theoretical texts and historical realities of revolutionary and anarchist characters such as Bakunin and Nechayev can cause serious mistakes when it comes to revolution. It is a book that can be read as it makes visible the dream universe created by the theories of these names.
