I've read this every few years since I was ten (equals: I've read this a lot of times..). Ah dear me! The romance of czarist Russia! His walk with the serfs on the annual trek to his family's summer residence! (He is *Prince* Peter Kropotkin to you, and I'll thank you to remember it..:-) The whole work bedazzled me when I was young, and even now, the life of this anarchist saint is a wonderful read, full of drama and the fervour for a better world. To this day tour guides at the great prison fortress of St Peter still tell the story of Kropotkin's escape, but hear you can read it in the first person, but that story is only one of many treasures to be found here...

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0921689187, Paperback)

A nonviolent anarchist of the 19th century, Peter Kropotkin offered a revolutionary alternative to Marxism. Although born into the nobility, he worked to subvert the class structure, promoting a philosophy of collective action. In this autobiography, Kropotkin describes his early life in the royal court, military service in Siberia, imprisonment, escape, and exile.
