New York Times Book Review: "'To the Finland Station', a work of the historical imagination at its most creative, puts us in touch with the revolutionary dreams and visions of our past. If we read it well, we can use it to teach ourselves how to keep the dreams alive in the present and maybe even in the future, how to make the visions real. It can help us learn to create ourselves." |

To the Finald Station is one of the greatest works by 20th-century America?s heralded man of letters. This magisterial study of the revolutionary dream reaches from the French Revolution through the Paris Commune to Russia in 1917, and features brilliant portraits of such figures as Jules Michelet, the great historian of the French people; the utopians Robert Owen and Charles Fourier; the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin; and of course Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Trotsky. Combining his polymathic talents as critic, journalist, historian, and novelist, Edmund Wilson offers an incisive and enduring tribute to the resilience, depth, and passion of the modern culture of protest. ?... we can use it to teach ourselves how to keep the dreams alive in the present, and ... in the future, how to make the visions real.? ?
