Krátky popis
A compelling intellectual biography of Stalin told through his
personal library ",[A] fascinating new study.",-Michael O'Donnell,
Wall Street Journal In this engaging life of the twentieth
century's most self-consciously learned dictator, Geoffrey Roberts
explores the books Stalin read, how he read them, and what they
taught him. Stalin firmly believed in the transformative potential
of words and his voracious appetite for reading guided him
throughout his years. A biography as well as an intellectual
portrait, this book explores all aspects of Stalin's tumultuous
life and politics.Stalin, an avid reader from an early age, amassed
a surprisingly diverse personal collection of thousands of books,
many of which he marked and annotated revealing his intimate
thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Based on his wide-ranging research
in Russian archives, Roberts tells the story of the creation,
fragmentation, and resurrection of Stalin's personal library. As a
true believer in communist ideology, Stalin was a fanatical
idealist who hated his enemies-the bourgeoisie, kulaks,
capitalists, imperialists, reactionaries, counter-revolutionaries,
traitors-but detested their ideas even more.
