A vivid collection of texts, gathered and introduced by Tamara
Deutscher, by Lenin and those who knew him, that shows the Lenin of
everyday reality, the man who lived by politics but not by politics
alone. Here, we see the Lenin of work and leisure, geared to his
life's purpose and yet enjoying to the full all the pleasures of a
healthy human existence; neither the humourless monolithic
cult-hero of Soviet mythology, nor the bogeyman of official
anti-communism. What did Lenin read? How did he relax? What did he
think and feel? This surprising collection, covering everything
from his passionate Baritone singing voice to his love of hunting
wild game and beyond, reveals the man beyond the myth.
