$40.46
by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (Author), Rob Sewell (Introduction by)
Lenin Selected Writings: The Revolutions of 1917 is a collection of key political writings, letters, and articles by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924), the Russian Marxist revolutionary, theorist, and leader of the Bolshevik Party. Exiled multiple times for his revolutionary activities, Lenin returned to Russia in April 1917 after the February Revolution and played a central role in the events leading to the October Revolution. This volume brings together his most important texts produced during the turbulent year of 1917.
The book includes major works such as “The April Theses,” “The State and Revolution,” letters on tactics, and numerous articles written for Bolshevik newspapers like Pravda. These writings analyze the dual power situation after the February Revolution, call for the transfer of all power to the Soviets, critique the Provisional Government, outline the Bolshevik program on peace, land, and bread, and develop Lenin’s theories on the state, imperialism, and proletarian revolution.
A primary source collection from one of the most influential figures of the 20th century, Lenin Selected Writings: The Revolutions of 1917 offers direct access to Lenin’s strategic thinking and political arguments during the pivotal months that led to the establishment of Soviet power in Russia. It remains essential reading for those interested in the Russian Revolution, Bolshevik history, and Marxist revolutionary theory.
