About the Author
Born in 1914, he lived in Turin where his father Lionello was professor of history of art. In 1932, when Lionello refused to take the oath of loyalty to Fascism, the Venturi family emigrated to Paris where Franco attended the Faculty of Arts and became militant in the anti-Fascist group Giustizia e Liberta headed by Carlo Rosselli. His first work as a historian, the starting point of his research on the Encylopedie. He participated activley in the Italian Resistance. From 1947 to 1949 he lived in the Soviet Union, where he prepared his best-known work on Russian populism. He not only contributed to work on the French and Italian Enlightenment, but also more generally to a conceptualization of the Enlightenment as a European and Atlantic exchange of ideas, as utopia and reform, as the will to transform the world through politics and economics.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In 1972, Venturi wrote a comprehensive survey of the latest Russian and Western studies on the subject which is reproduced in full here. As Isaiah Berlin remarks in his Introduction, 'Professor Venturi's work on the Russian Populist movement is the fullest and most authoritative account in any language of a decisive phase in the history of the Russian revolutionary movement.' Taking as his starting date the 1848 revolution which crystallized Populist ideology in the minds of Herzen, (the true founder of Populism) Bakunin, Chernyshevsky and other intellectuals, Venturi examines Russia's internal and external problems and the ideals and beliefs of her subjects in so far as they touch on the formation and development of populism. The core of the book concentrates on an account of the conspiracies and struggles through which Populism expressed itself.The book ends on March 1st 1881 with the assassination of Alexander II by the Executive Committee of Narodnaya Volya. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002894295
