Hi Mich, yes u r right, i typed it out quick coz the book's at home but, yes, it's Alexander Berkman, lover of Emma Goldman. It's kinda bleak and i really feel sorry for Alexander (although i know he would be really angry at pity from another anarchist), but he was very courageous in basically offering up his life (he expected to die in the assasination attempt on Frick but got 22 years instead) for the propaganda of the deed in the hope of agitating the masses to boil over into social revolution. His attitude reminded me of those French anarchists around the same time who would rather march to the guillotine for resistance rather than become wage slaves... I'd better stop there or there won't be anything left to read...and YES I'd love to swap you with "The Good Soldier Svejk (Sweik)by Jaroslav Hasek", maybe see you on 20 nov at steve's talk?<BR><BR><B><I>michelle martin <kj10680@yahoo.co.uk></I></B> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE
