Sorokin recounts his harrowing experiences during the Russian Revolution — including imprisonment and a death sentence under the Bolshevik regime — with unflinching candor and a tone that balances personal reflection with sharp historical insight. The narrative traces his forced exile, his arduous immigration to the United States, and his tireless pursuit of a sociological vision that challenged the dominant materialist and positivist currents of his era. Throughout, Sorokin presents himself not merely as a witness to history but as an active participant in its most turbulent upheavals, offering readers a rare, firsthand perspective on revolution, displacement, and intellectual resilience. This memoir stands as both a deeply personal testament and an invaluable document for anyone interested in the history of social thought, Eastern European history, or the immigrant scholarly experience in America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887892902107,"sku":"2026200007328-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1f28b292-e420-45da-898a-609ad6ccfde4.png?v=1781748043","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007328-secondhand-a-long-journey-the-autobiography-of-pitirim-a-sorokin","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
