The book "Ten Days That Shook the World" is the living chronicle of the greatest, most epoch-making social revolution of all times: the October Socialist Revolution of the Russian proletariat.

John Reed – the author of this book – is not just a firsthand witness and chronicler of this historic proletarian epic. Above all, he is an enlightened spiritual person, an ideologue, a fighter who, amidst the fiery flow of those days that literally shook the great country and the entire world, possessed such foresight and vision that he clearly discerned the new dawn emerging in human history.

The dawn of proletarian and national liberation revolutions, the dawn of socialism. Through John Reed's book, many generations of revolutionaries have been inspired across all corners of the earth.

The work was first translated into Greek and published abroad in 1961 by the "Political and Literary Editions." The book in the reader's hands is a re-edited and improved version of that monumental work by John Reed.
