Ioseb Djugashvili was born in 1878 in the small village of Gori, Georgia, a land between the Black and Caspian seas that had been conquered by the tsars earlier in the century. What caused Stalin to choose Marxism and social democracy over the other political and organizational alternatives that were becoming available to him as the nineteenth century drew to a close? Suny’s painstaking reconstruction of Stalin’s early years helps remove the sense that the young man’s choice was inevitable. His nonparty socialism proves to be a help, not a hindrance. Suny’s scholarship is under no such disabling handicap. That perspective stands in the way of an objective account of the intra-Russian Social Democratic controversies that consumed much of Stalin’s life as an underground revolutionary. Kotkin’s multivolume biography, Stalin, is an unrelieved jeremiad against socialism and Marxism. Suny’s intervention is on an altogether different plane when we compare it to Stephen Kotkin’s study of the same topic. It is a history of the workers’ movement and of social democracy in the tsarist empire, from the turn of the century down to and including the October Revolution, with special emphasis on the Caucasus. Ronald Suny’s scholarly study of Stalin’s life until October 1917 goes beyond biography. The work under review is in a league of its own. Review of Stalin: Passage to Revolution, by Ronald Grigor Suny (Princeton University Press, 2020). “Hey, get a load of this!” Toothless shouted. Best of all, the hard labor had turned me from Nerd Boy into Tyler the Amazing Hulk, with ripped muscles and enough testosterone to power a nuclear generator. I snagged a couple of keys when they weren’t looking. They taught me how to steal free soda out of the vending machines. There had been a few advantages to working with these guys. “If them sewer pipes back up again, we’ll get you out of class.” “You guys have been great.”ĭopey cackled. Bet you’re glad to be quit of us, huh, kid?” “Yeah, we’re done.” He turned off the motor on the tar kettle. Joe wandered over, looked at my work, and grunted. We didn’t want any rain getting into the building and destroying the classrooms. I pushed the mop back and forth, trying to coat the seams evenly. Oh, and he gave me six months of meetings with a probation officer who thought I was a waste of human flesh. He nailed me with the bill for the damage I had done, which meant I had to sell my car and bust my hump at a landscaping company all summer. Court-ordered restitution for the Foul Deed. Mandatory community service, the judge said. I was working forty feet above the ground, breathing in sulfur fumes from Satan’s vomitorium, for free. My companions were Dopey, Toothless, and Joe, the brain surgeons in charge of building maintenance. I spent the last Friday of summer vacation spreading hot, sticky tar across the roof of George Washington High. The volumes of Hamilton’s papers were published in one chronological sequence rather than being issued in separate series with independent editorial staffs. The Hamilton Papers project had two features that distinguish it from other modern “Founders” editions. Luckily, however, users can supplement those calendar entries with digital images of virtually all these letters and reports in the Papers of the War Department edition at George Mason University. armed forces during the Quasi-War with France, 1798–1801, produced the greatest body of such calendared materials. Like the Jefferson series, the Hamilton editors provided “calendar” entries or concise abstracts of the contents of documents they deemed “routine.” The years of Hamilton’s service as inspector general of U.S. The project’s goal was accurate documentary texts with editorial notes that provided historical context for the user’s convenience. It includes both letters written and received by Hamilton, as well as his famous Treasury reports, contributions to The Federalist Papers, and other writings. The methodology of The Papers of Alexander Hamilton followed closely the model of the pioneering Thomas Jefferson series at Princeton. The project was completed with publication of its last volume in 1987. In 1955, Columbia University and its University Press created a project to collect, edit, and publish the written records of the life of Alexander Hamilton, America’s first Treasury secretary and one of the most important architects of the new nation. Piero della Francesca’s “The Story of the True Cross,” Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro,” Bach’s “The Well-Tempered Clavier,” Matisse’s cut-outs. How’s that for an answer? Strange, disquieting, isn’t it? We wonder if it can possibly be true.) The third is this: There are rare moments when art rises into something we can only marvel at. (In sum, he says we exist because the things in the world need us, need us to turn the object world into consciousness, and more specifically, into words. The second is that what it proposes, which is an ‘answer’ to one of the central questions we as humans face: ‘Why do we exist?” The answer is so stunning that I don’t know how to deal with it. The ‘maybe’ refers to the conditions of its coming-into-being, at the end of a truly extended writer’s block. The poem has two, and maybe three, remarkable aspects. So just printing the poem twice takes up four pages. I take it up as I usually do, line by line, stanza by stanza. That seems to me appropriate, since it is on what I consider to be one of the very greatest of all poems, Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Ninth Duino Elegy.” The poem itself is two pages. |
