About this book
Imperial ceremony, serfdom and political repression form the background to Victor Robinson's account of Peter Kropotkin. This 1908 biography begins under Nicholas I, contrasting the court's grand displays with the hardships imposed on soldiers, families and political prisoners. An opening scene of a small child at a royal ball shows the elaborate court rituals within the social order the book fiercely criticizes.
Robinson writes with open sympathy for Russian rebels and a strongly emotional voice. Alongside accounts of the wider political struggle, he follows Kropotkin into prison, where illness leads to a transfer to a military hospital. Fresh air, sunlight and walks bring recovery, while an open gate prompts plans for escape.
