Revolutions

by Stefan Molyneux

Revolutions is a powerful tale of love, loyalty, murder, and redemption, set in Russia in the late nineteenth century. The story begins at the country home of Alexander Herzen, an old revolutionary who has retired to the country to finish his memoirs.

Herzen is appalled that his writings have led to such violence, and tries to win Nachaev to the cause of peaceful change. Knowing the power of the older writer, Nachaev seeks Herzen’s blessing for his actions. Herzen’s daughter, however, is increasingly drawn to the young revolutionary and, as the police close in, Herzen finds that he must choose between his undying hatred for the Russian state and his love for his own family…

As if one of Jordan Peterson's rules, "Set your own house in order before you criticise the world.", was made into a novel.

Interesting setting and people. The writing style didn't fit me, its a lot of clever dialogue and it seems my brain has a difficulty of extracting what is going on from that writing style.
