A witness to the most important event of the 20th Century
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book takes you to the Russia of 1917. We watch the construction of a new society which is run by the workers. What makes this book remarkable and worth reading is that Louise is not just a revolutionary joining in the events but a middle class writer, all be it married to Jack Reed. In the film "Reds" we get a notion of the type of person she is. We know that after Jack's death she enters in to the life of a bourgeois wife - marrying a career diplomat. But here in Russia we feel she really comes alive. She is foremost a journalist but one who is able to understand and recognise a proletarian revolution as it unfolds. She sees its brutal side but also its very gentle and moving side. Finally it's worth looking up her letter to Max Eastman (available on the internet)about the circumstances of Reed's death and subsequent funeral - I dare you to read it dry-eyed!
