From Eric Hobsbawm: A Life in History, by Richard J. Evans
AFTER
"After reading twelve pages of Lenin he noted: 'Astonishing how that cheers me up and clears my mind. I was in a total good mood afterwards.' This is not the feeling that most people have after ploughing through Lenin's theoretical works."
From Chapter 2, 'Ugly as Sin, but a Mind', 1933-1936, II
