Victor Serge is a brilliant writer, I have like everything I have read by him and this is no different.  The title tells it all and it is very loosely screened autobiography of Serge.  The saddest part of this edition is the introduction where we are reminded that in 105 years NOTHING and I mean NOTHING has changed in the world wide penal system.  For looking  and learning about the evils of the prison system: great primer.
