Opening with a panorama of Russian society, from the cloistered world of the Tsar to the brutal life of the peasants, A People’s Tragedy follows workers, soldiers, intellectuals and villagers as their world is consumed by revolution and then degenerates into violence and dictatorship.

Drawing on vast original research, Figes conveys above all the shocking experience of the revolution for those who lived it, while providing the clearest and most cogent account of how and why it unfolded.

Now including a new introduction that reflects on the revolution’s centennial legacy, A People’s Tragedy is a masterful and definitive record of one of the most important events in modern history.

Absolutely amazing book. And the narration of the audiobook is also absolutely fantastic. Provides an in depth, multifaceted view on the Russian revolution.

Amazing

Orlando Figes writes about the time before and after the October coup of Lenin and the Bolschewik Party. A time and event everybody knows something about, almost everyone many things wrong.

He cites from many well selected sources. Altogether that makes a compelling reading (listening).

I can highly recommend the book.

The speaker has a clear pronunciation. His intonation I found often annoying. He wants to sound like he is conveying some new and surprising information, sometimes sentence after sentence. Even when it was new and surprising information I would have preferred a neutral way of telling me.

Horrific and Fascinating

I have listened to no other audio book so masterfully merging the personal stories of individual people into the greater stream of historic events. There is no better tale of the Russian revolution, showing why everything happened the way it did. Thanks Mr. Figes, please write a follow-up!

Uniting personal stories and history

Orlando Figes draws from numerous sources to present a vivid picture of the most dramatic era in Russian history. And Roger Davis reads it congenially.

Impressive Panorama
