This work has become a classic of world literature, because it offers a living look at those days that changed history. The author had traveled to Russia with his partner Louise Bryant to be a privileged witness to the victory of the socialist revolution. In this journalistic chronicle we see the revolution in multiple dimensions: the debates in the soviets, the danger on the barricades, the conspiracies of the bourgeoisie and the landlords together with the reactionaries of the old tsarist regime, the call for insurrection of the Bolshevik Party and the implacable revolutionary triumph in which a Marxist party set a date and planned in advance the seizure of political power of the State.
The work is a special edition, improved, corrected and collated, also containing illustrations made especially for this occasion.
