Ten Days that Shook the World, published in 1919, is an extraordinary narrative by American journalist and socialist John Reed, chronicling his firsthand encounters during the October Revolution in Russia in 1917. Reed immersed himself in the fervor of the revolution, engaging closely with pivotal Bolshevik figures like Grigory Zinoviev and Karl Radek. His commitment to capturing the revolutions chaotic spirit led him to isolate himself, resulting in an intense burst of creativity that birthed this masterpiece. Tragically, Reed passed away in 1920, shortly after its completion, and he remains one of the few Americans honored at the Kremlin Wall Necropolis, a site reserved for distinguished Soviet figures. Max Eastman recalls a poignant moment with Reed, describing his gaunt frame and the fervent joy in his eyes as he poured his soul into this significant work. Reed’s passion and determination to convey the tumult of the revolution make Ten Days that Shook the World an indispensable read for anyone fascinated by history and political transformation.Copyright Assorted Non Fiction 世界 政治・政府 政治学 社会科学 科学
