Okay. I finished reading this book. I think it is a well-written and interesting thing. My only real complaint is that Herzen doesn't come to vivid presence. So much is about ideas, to the point that the subject himself seems diffuse, hard to grasp as a solid being.
Time was, I wandered the cobbled street named during Soviet times for Herzen, but had not overly acquainted myself with his writing. Yet another author of importance during the 19th century whose given name was Alexander.
