The book of memoirs “Past and Dumas” is rightfully considered not only the pinnacle of Herzen’s work, but also a remarkable phenomenon of Russian history and culture. “Past and Thoughts” is not a historical monograph, but a reflection of history in a person who accidentally stumbled on its path. Indeed, the biographical narrative developed into an unusually wide panorama of Russian and European life in the middle of the XIX century. “Past and Thoughts” is a chronicle of an unprecedented social upsurge that culminated in the European Revolution of 1848 and betrayed expectations; but it is also a touching romantic story of the author’s love and family drama. Herzen’s sincerity, observation, literary skill and civic courage delighted his contemporaries. The talent of the portraitist allowed him to capture the features of the appearance and character of Chaadaev, Belinsky, Granovsky, Bakunin, Garibaldi, Owen and many other interlocutors - figures of Russian and world history. The most important fragments were selected for this edition.
