Description
“My Past and Thoughts” is an autobiographical work that Herzen worked on for many years, from 1852 to 1868. Specialists in literature and history of Russian prose recognize it as the author’s main work and one of the important literary works of the nineteenth century in the memoir genre. Herzen himself compared this work to a house that constantly expands—with the “addition of annexes, extensions, and outbuildings.”
The audiobook includes the first two parts of “My Past and Thoughts,” in which the author describes his childhood and adolescence spent in his father’s house—a wealthy, well-educated aristocrat with a complex character; his first meeting with N. Ogaryov, whose friendship accompanies Herzen throughout his life; his entry into the circle of liberal youth; his arrest, imprisonment, and exile to Vyatka, and then to Vladimir.
