Synopsis

Autobiography: A Collection Of The Most Instructive And Amusing Lives Ever Published. This volume presents Augustus von Kotzebue's life as reconstructed from his own writings and editorials in the Autobiography series. It chronicles his life, literary career, and the extraordinary episodes of exile, including transport through Tobolsk, Perm, Casan, and Tobolsk again, with reflections on authority, justice, and human resilience. The text also contains memorials, interviews with governors, and the political atmosphere surrounding his experiences under Paul I and Alexander I. It includes appendices such as a critical examination of the so-called Secret Memoirs of the Russian Court and a Sequel narrating Kotzebue’s later career in exile and eventual return to prominence. The edition compiled in 1827 in London assembles multiple narratives and sequels to trace the life and fate of Kotzebue, a figure whose fate intertwines art, censorship, and state power.
