Description

This book, created by the writers N.A. Ionina, S.V. Istomin, and M.N. Kubeev, is devoted to great rebels and insurgents of various countries and eras - from the Ancient East and Antiquity to the last decades of the 20th century. The hundred biographical essays tell not only of the leaders of military-political movements and popular uprisings against national and social oppression. The book also presents fanatical lone terrorists; disgraced church hierarchs; reformers of religious movements and of the economy; outstanding scholars and writers who challenged traditional scientific, ethical, and philosophical conceptions; and military commanders who, by fate's will, became rebel politicians... Jan Hus and Marfa the Mayoress, Maximus the Greek and Giordano Bruno, Stepan Razin and Oliver Cromwell, George Byron and Sándor Petőfi, Giuseppe Garibaldi and Savva Morozov... All of them are, above all, rebels of the spirit, insurgents against existing or externally imposed orders and arrangements; some, one way or another, fought for a "bright future," others tried to restore an idealized past.
