Inhaltsangabe:
Between 1890 and 1893, Ignaty Potapenko published a number of works in which he presented the Russian intelligentsia with a new role model, the &;mediocre, but common-sensical man,&; whose diligence and steady devotion to the improvement of society are depicted as being more productive than the reckless heroism of the regime&;s most outspoken, and sometimes violent, intellectual opponents. Not a Hero introduces the twenty-first-century reader to an important debate of the prerevolutionary period, a debate that is still relevant today: how to bring about social change within an oppressive and ossified political system without resorting to violence.
