P.A. Kropotkin is a personality of truly encyclopedic proportions. Like Voltaire and Rousseau, he was a thinker, a scientist, and a writer. The day after he received recognition from the scientific community of the Russian Empire for his outstanding contributions to geology, he was arrested for participation in the revolutionary movement. He was both the father of Russian anarchism and the man who proved the existence of the Ice Age in Eastern Siberia. He was interested in issues of ethics and political science, biology and geomorphology. This book contains the best texts of speeches of this bright, controversial person, shining not only with extensive knowledge and incredible erudition, but also with a wealth of speech accessible only to a highly organized mind.
