Synopsis
1847: the Russian liberal Alexander Herzen and his family leave Moscow on a short-term permit, become embroiled in the revolutionary upheavals in France and Italy and find themselves condemned to permanent exile. Their lives are punctuated by romance and illusion, intrigue and adultery. This moving account has all the qualities of an epic nineteenth-century novel.

About the Author
E.H. Carr was one of twentieth century’s finest historians. Author of What is History? and a multi-volume history of the Soviet Union, he died in 1982.
Review
"Beyond praise. This classic about Alexander Herzen and his fellow exiles from Czarist Russia is a masterpiece of biography, spirited, enthralling, and profound."
—Francis Steegmuller
"A documented study of a whole group of Russian exiles—all revolutionary in word if not in deed, and nearly all bound together by some kind of more or less intimate personal relationship.... If the men are the spiritual heirs of Rousseau the women are the emotional children of George Sand. The 'All for Freedom' of the one balanced the 'All for Love' of the other...not only a fascinating human story but a real contribution to the study of European history."
—Saturday Review
"There is a great charm in the way Mr. Carr has recreated the atmosphere of those strange Russian exiles, 'run to intellect,' who caused so profound an influence on Europe's literary evolution in the middle of the last century. Great figures are conjured up with real skill by Mr. Carr's able pen."
—The New York Times
