Edward Hallett Carr was a liberal realist and later left-wing British historian, journalist and international relations theorist, and an opponent of empiricism within historiography. Carr was best known for his 14-volume history of the Soviet Union, in which he provided an account of Soviet history from 1917 to 1929, for his writings on international relations, and for his book What Is History?, in which he laid out historiographical principles rejecting traditional historical methods and practices. Educated at Cambridge, Carr began his career as a diplomat in 1916. Becoming increasingly preoccupied with the study of international relations and of the Soviet Union, he resigned from the Foreign Office in 1936 to begin an academic career. From 1941 to 1946, Carr worked as an assistant editor at The Times, where he was noted for his leaders (editorials) urging a socialist system and an Anglo-Soviet alliance as the basis of a post-war order. Afterwards, Carr worked on a massive 14-volume work on Soviet history entitled A History of Soviet Russia, a project that he was still engaged in at the time of his death in 1982. In 1961, he delivered the G. M. Trevelyan lectures at the University of Cambridge that became the basis of his book, What is History?. Moving increasingly towards the left throughout his career, Carr saw his role as the theorist who would work out the basis of a new international order.

E. H. Carr's classic work on international relations published in 1939 was immediately recognized by friend and foe alike as a defining work. The author was one of the most influential and controversial intellectuals of the 20th century. The issues and themes he developed continue to have relevance to modern day concerns with power and its distribution in the international system. Michael Cox's critical introduction provides the reader with background information about the author, the context for the book, and its main themes and contemporary relevance.
E.H. Carr is the acknowledged authority on Soviet Russia. In The Russian Revolution from Lenin to Stalin 1917 - 1929 , he provides the student and general reader alike with insights and knowledge of a lifetime's work. This book, now available in a brand new edition, is, without doubt, the standard short history of the Russian Revolution and now contains a new introduction by R.W. Davies.
1917-23 covers the period up to Lenin's first withdrawal from the political scene in the Spring of 1923.
The bare events of Dostoevsky’s life – his father murdered by peasants, his own ordeal before a firing squad, then exile in Siberia, his epilepsy, gambling, poverty and debts – go far to account for his strange intensity of vision. This biography, first published in 1931, traces his wayward development, from his strict and secluded childhood to his debut as ‘literary pimple’, through his years of anguish, to his maturity as artist and final apotheosis as Russian patriot.Written some fifty years after Dostoevsky’s death, when the material necessary for a full study first became available, Carr’s classic study reflects an approach to the life and genius of Dostoevsky dominated by the concerns of the mid-twentieth century. With its illuminating chapters on each of the great novels and its stylistic precision, this treatment of Dostoevsky remains a perfect introduction to the man, both as a novelist and as a human being.
1847: the Russian liberal Alexander Herzen and his family leave Moscow on a short-term permit, become embroiled in the revolutionary upheavals in France and Italy and find themselves condemned to permanent exile. Their lives are punctuated by romance and illusion, intrigue and adultery. This moving account has all the qualities of an epic nineteenth-century novel.
This volume discusses the economic policies and predicaments of the first years of the Soviet regime.
“E. H. Carr’s History of Soviet Russia holds a unique position in the vast literature on Bolshevism and Soviet Russia. No other work on this subject comparable in scope and scale exists in English or in any other language, including the Russian.” ― Times Literary Supplement In Volume III, Russia’s geographical position as both a European and an Asian power and her twin aims of promoting world revolution and establishing normal relations with capitalist governments led to severe stresses in Soviet foreign policy. This volume analyzes these strains and their domestic and international ramifications.
'A very excellent book ...A masterpiece of balanced exposition.' Sir Harold Nicolson, Daily Telegraph 'May well come to be regarded as the standard short history of world affairs ...The story is careful, balanced, adequate and no more trustworthy aid to an understanding of present foreign politics could be advised.'

Published in 1945, Nationalism and After was a best-selling classic in its own time which sparked intense debate when it first appeared and has continued to do so ever since. Authored in a moment of hope, E.H. Carr’s uncompromising critique of nationalism and plea for a more rational international order remains as relevant today as it did when it was first written. As the world is once again confronted by a rising tide of nationalism, Nationalism and After remains a beacon of hope in an era where reasoned critical analysis has never been more urgently required. It is here reissued in full with a new, definitive introduction by leading Carr scholar, Michael Cox.
Sovyet Devrimi’nin tarihi, sosyalist hareketin daima ilgisinin merkezinde olmuştur. Her tarih gibi daha sonra yazıldığında yaşananlar kadar, yaşananları daha da yüceltmek adına menkıbeler, abartılar ve kurgular da devreye girmiştir. E. H. Carr, Bolşevik Devrimi’nin en geniş kapsamlı, gayrıresmî tarihini gözalabildiğine bir zenginlikle yazıya geçirmiş, süreci bir tarihçinin ciddiyeti ile ele almıştır. 1917: Öncesi ve Sonrası, Carr’ın Bolşevik Devrimi tarihi üzerine yaptığı araştırmaların, verdiği emeğin bir dökümüdür. E. H. Carr, dönemin tarihini araştırırken Rusça kaynaklara, devrim sürecinde öne çıkmış aktörlerin anılarına, yazılarına, dönemin gazete ve arşivlerine büyük bir dikkatle eğilir. Sovyet Devrimi ile ilgili diğer kaynakları da eleştirel bir gözle ele alır. Bolşevik Devrimi’ni tarihteki yerine oturtmak, devrimin fikrî kökenlerini, sosyalist hareketin tarihsel mirasının ve aktörlerinin devrim fikrine ve sürecine katkısını, yıllar boyu süren araştırmaların olgunluğu ve aklıselimi ile yazabilmek bu eserin önemini artırır. Devrime ufkunu çizen ütopyayı, Sovyet toplumunun yapısını, umutlar kadar trajedileri de aynı hassasiyetle ele alan Carr, hem bir devrimin tarihini anlatır, hem de bu tarihin nasıl yazılması gerektiğini gözler önüne serer.
This book, first published in 1962, is a collection of essays on the ideological origins of the European revolutionary movement. The first essay in the collection is devoted to Saint-Simon who, though not a revolutionary in the ordinary sense, was the begetter of the many ideas which became stock-in-trade of the nineteenth century revolutionaries. The essays that follow are on Marx and the Communist Manifesto, Proudhon, Herzen, Lassalle and Sorel; on the foundation and early history of the Russian Communist Party; on the histories of the British and German Communist Parties; and on Lenin and Stalin.
E.H. Carr who died in 1982 at the age of 90 was a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, & an Honorary Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford. His books include International Relations between the Two World Wars 1919-39, The Twenty Years' Crisis 1919-39, Nationalism & After, The New Society, What is History?, 1917: Before & After, Michael Bakunin, The Russian Revolution From Lenin to Stalin 1917-29, the 14 volume History of Soviet Russia & The Twilight of the Comintern 1930-35.

“Sovyet Rusya ve Dünya” başlıklı bu ciltle birlikte Bolşevik Devrimi tamamlanmış oluyor. Carr yapıtın sonunu, Sovyet tarihinde belli bir dönemin sonuna yerleştirmiştir: 1922-23 kışında rejim yerleşmiş, ilk kez bir güvenlik hissi doğmuş, ekonomik iyileştirme dalgası zirveye ulaşmıştır. Yeni tarım ve çalışma kanunları ile medeni kanun hukuki istikrar vaat etmektedir. Devrim yatışmıştır – Carr bundan sonrasını artık farklı, yeni bir dönem olarak değerlendirir.Bu üçüncü cilt, Sovyet Rusya’nın dış dünyayla kurduğu çok renkli, ama bir o kadar da karmaşık, iç içe geçmiş ilişkilerini, keskin ayrımlara gitmeden resmin bütününü canlandırarak anlatmayı başarıyor. Bu cildi okurken, artık uzak bir geçmişte, 20. yüzyılın başında kalmış uluslararası olguların aynı zamanda bugüne, bizlere ne kadar yakın olduğunu düşünmemek mümkün değil.
This volume deals with the political history of the period.
The second volume details the struggle for power within the Bolshevik Party, the most dramatic aspect of those crucial years 1924-1926 which 'gave to the revolutionary regime for good and for evil, its decisive direction'. Having defeated Trotsky in co-operation with Zinoviev and Kamenev, Stalin turns on his erstwhile allies. In the name of a policy of forced industrialisation and national self-sufficiency ('Socialism in one Country'), he establishes his authority over the monolithic party and the state.In the second volume E. H. Carr examines the political and constitutional issues of the new Soviet society which, like the economic transformations described in the previous volume, underpinned the struggle for mastery within the party.

Στην επετειακή έκδοση, περιέχονται τρεις ενότητες:Μια χρονολογική - ιστορική ενότητα: Με παρουσίαση των κύριων γεγονότων του 1917-1918 που οδήγησαν στην Επανάσταση του Οκτώβρη και ακολούθησαν αμέσως μετά, όπως και μια λεπτό προς λεπτό ιστορική αποτύπωση των στιγμών που εκτυλίχθηκαν το τριήμερο 24, 25 και 26 Οκτωβρίου (6-7-8 Νοεμβρίου με το νέο ημερολόγιο) του 1917 στην Πετρούπολη και αποτέλεσαν τις κορυφαίες στιγμές της νίκης της επανάστασης.Μια πολιτική και θεωρητική ενότητα: Με την παρουσίαση κειμένων που αποτυπώνουν το κλίμα, τις σκέψεις, την τακτική και τις αντιπαραθέσεις, τους στόχους και τα γεγονότα που έκριναν την έκβαση της ταξικής πάλης. Όπως το απόσπασμα του ιστορικού E.H. Carr, συγγραφέα μιας από τις πιο σοβαρές και αναλυτικές ιστορίες της Ρώσικης Επανάστασης, αλλά και κείμενα, άρθρα και γράμματα του Λένιν την περίοδο λίγο πριν και κατά τη διάρκεια της επανάστασης και των γεγονότων του 1917, καθώς και μια δική του «αποτίμηση» για την Οκτωβριανή Επανάσταση, 4 χρόνια μετά.Η τρίτη ενότητα περιλαμβάνει μια μικρή αρθρογραφία σύγχρονων διανοητών για την ιστορία αλλά και τη σημασία του Οκτώβρη στην εποχή μας.Στο βιβλίο υπάρχουν σειρά φωτογραφιών και εικαστικών έργων για και από την Οκτωβριανή Επανάσταση του 1917Ένας αιώνας από ένα τεράστιας σημασίας ιστορικό γεγονός είναι μια στιγμή κατά την οποία σχεδόν υποχρεωτικά, σχεδόν φυσικά προκύπτουν απολογισμοί, αναστοχασμοί και θέσεις.Σε τούτη την έκδοση, δεν μας ενδιαφέρουν οι τυπικοί "πανηγυρικοί της μέρας", ούτε τα βαρύγδουπα συμπεράσματα δήθεν "φίλων" και εχθρών της επανάστασης του 1917. Σε αυτή την έκδοση, παρουσιάζουμε κάποιες, λίγες, στιγμές ενός κορυφαίου ιστορικού γεγονότος, ως αρχή, ως υπενθύμιση, ως μια εισαγωγή για την εποχή στις οποίες οι επαναστάσεις είναι εντελώς αναγκαίες.

Tarih Bilimi günümüzde eskiden gördüğü saygıyı artık göremiyor; çoğu kez toplum için yararı olmayan, tersine sık sık zararlı ve korkunç bile olan "ölü - kitaplarbilimi" sayılıyor. Paul Valéry'nin tarihi "insan beyninin kimyasınca oluşturulan en tehlikeli madde" sayışının nedenleri üzerinde düşünmek gerekir. Geçmişin anlaşılması, bugünün ve geleceğin de daha iyi anlaşılması için olduğuna göre, bunu başaracak tarihsel araştırmanın yöntem ilkelerini yeniden gözden geçirmek zorunluluk olmuştur.Ünlü tarihçi E. H. Carr ve José Fontana, bu kitapta iki yönlü bir amaca yöneliyorlar: a) geleneksel tarihin saygı ve güven yitirmesinin nedenlerini açıklamak; b) günümüz insanlarına içinde yaşadıkları dünya ve toplumu anlamalarını kolaylaştıracak bir tarih yaklaşımının nasıl olabileceğini göstermek. Her iki amacın da eksenindeki konu, Tarihte nesnelliğin neleri gerektirdiği konusudur.
These essays now reprinted and prefaced by Jonathan Haslam, E.H. Carr's biographer, give the reader a representative sample of Carr's interests over several decades. They include fascinating picture portraits of figures, both major and minor, from the 19th and 20th centuries, some of whom he knew firsthand. The reader will also find studied reflection on the major events and their impact including the Paris peace settlement of 1919 and the legacy of Stalin in Russian history. Carr is always lucid, with a taste for controversy. Novices, fans and critics alike will not be disappointed.
