Revolutionary Dreams: Utopian Vision and Experimental Life in the Russian Revolution by Richard Stites. Oxford University Press, New York, 1989. First Edition, First Printing, with complete number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Hardcover in original illustrated dust jacket. A major study of the utopian imagination surrounding the Russian Revolution. Historian Richard Stites examines the extraordinary social and cultural experiments that emerged from revolutionary Russia, including communal living, new approaches to morality and everyday life, technological utopianism, festivals and ritual, science fiction, city planning, art, and attempts to create entirely new forms of human community. Rather than treating the Russian Revolution solely as a political event, Stites explores the dreams that accompanied it: the belief that revolution might transform not only government and economics but everyday life itself. An important and highly readable work of intellectual and cultural history, particularly relevant to collectors interested in Russian history, revolutionary movements, socialism, communism, utopian studies, intentional communities, radical politics, futures, and social experimentation.
