| Summary | "The White Terror and The Red: A Novel of Revolutionary Russia" by Abraham Cahan is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the political and social turmoil during the revolutionary period in Russia, particularly focusing on the interactions between characters from various social classes, including nobility and political dissenters. Central to the narrative are characters like Prince Pavel Boulatoff, who navigates his loyalties against his awakening sense of justice amidst the oppressive regime. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Czar Alexander II during a summer retreat in Germany, where he attempts to experience life as an ordinary citizen. This setting contrasts with the troubled political landscape back home, where revolutionary ideas bubble beneath the surface. Young Pavel and his tutor, Alexandre Pievakin, engage in discussions that highlight the tension between loyalty to the Czar and sympathy for oppressed individuals like Pani Oginska, a Polish woman whose life has been disrupted by political upheaval. As Pavel grapples with his identity and beliefs, the reader is drawn into the dynamic debates and moral dilemmas that will shape his journey throughout this turbulent period in Russian history.
