Publisher's Synopsis
Memoirs of a Revolutionist is a book written by Peter Kropotkin, a Russian anarchist and revolutionary. This edition is a large print version of the book. The book is a memoir of Kropotkin's life, beginning with his childhood in the aristocracy of Russia and his education as a military cadet.

Kropotkin recounts his time in prison and exile, his travels throughout Europe, and his involvement in various revolutionary movements. He also discusses his ideas on anarchism, mutual aid, and the importance of cooperation in society.
