Synopsis

""Literature and Revolution"" is a non-fiction book written by Leon Trotsky, a Marxist revolutionary and Soviet politician. The book was originally published in 1924 and explores the relationship between literature and politics during the Russian Revolution of 1917. Trotsky argues that literature plays a crucial role in shaping the consciousness of the masses and can be used as a tool for political propaganda. He explores the ways in which literature can be used to support or challenge the status quo, and how it can be used to promote revolutionary ideals. The book also includes discussions on the role of the artist in society, the relationship between art and science, and the importance of cultural education for the working class. Overall, ""Literature and Revolution"" offers a Marxist perspective on the power of literature and its ability to shape political consciousness. It is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in the intersection of literature and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
