Words of a Rebel, Clz

Back Cover Article (From the Promotional Bulletin)

I need not praise Kropotkin here. He is my dear friend... If I say that he is a good person, I may be thought to be blindly loyal to him or I may be accused of being biased. It is enough for me to convey the thoughts of his judges and even his jailers on this subject... Among those who observed his life closely or from afar, there is no one who does not respect him, who does not witness his heart overflowing with goodness and his great intelligence, and who does not know him as a truly noble and pure person. And isn't that why he already knew exile and captivity? Loving crime, the poor and the weak; His flaw is that he defended their cause.

Readers of this book, however, have less to do with the personality of the author than with the value of the ideas he displays. I offer these ideas with confidence to honest people who do not express their judgment about a book without even opening its cover, or about an idea without listening and understanding it. Leave all your prejudices aside, learn to get rid of your interests for a while and read these pages just looking for the truth without being interested in its application for now. The author wants only one thing from you: to share with him for a moment the ideal of happiness not only for the privileged, but for everyone. No matter how short-lived, if this desire is sincere and not a momentary whim of your desires or a fleeting dream that crosses your mind, it is possible for you to agree with it after a short time. If you share his wishes, you will also understand his words. But you should know from the beginning that these ideas will not bring you fame; These ideas will never be rewarded with a well-paid position or lead to some harsh reactions from above. If you are looking for justice, be prepared to be exposed to great injustice...
