Russian Literature Ideals and Realities

Prince Peter Kropotkin (born in 1842) was best known as an anarchist philosopher, and many do not realize that in the early 20th-century he wrote and lectured in the United States on Russian literature. But Kropotkin, in his preface, complains that:?It is by no means an easy task to speak or to write about the literature of a country, when this literature is hardly known to the audience or to the readers.'Kropotkin, Peter is the author of 'Russian Literature Ideals and Realities', published 2003 under ISBN 9781410207548 and ISBN 1410207544.
