Beskrivelse
In Russian and French Prisons is a non-fiction book written by the Russian anarchist and philosopher Petr Alekseevich Kropotkine in 1887. The book is a collection of essays and personal accounts of Kropotkine's experiences in prison, both in Russia and France. Kropotkine's writings provide a critical analysis of the prison system and the treatment of prisoners, highlighting the inhumane conditions and the lack of rehabilitation programs. He also discusses the political and social implications of imprisonment, arguing that it is often used as a tool of oppression against dissenters and political activists. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Kropotkine's experiences in Russian prisons, including his imprisonment in the Peter and Paul Fortress and his subsequent exile to Siberia. The second part of the book details his experiences in French prisons, including his imprisonment during the Paris Commune and his subsequent escape to England. Overall, In Russian and French Prisons is a powerful critique of the prison system and a call for reform. Kropotkine's insights and observations are still relevant today, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of prisons and the politics of incarceration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
