A sweeping intellectual autobiography, A Long Journey chronicles the remarkable life of one of the twentieth century's most influential sociologists, from his humble origins in rural Russia to his eventual prominence as a founding figure of Harvard's sociology department. 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.
