SYNOPSIS: In the first new biography of Rosa Luxemburg for 20 years, Elzbieta Ettinger provides an intimate portrait of Luxemburg, the woman, revealing her private struggles as well as her ascent to political prominence. She emerges as an enlightened intellectual and a tortured dramatic figure, whose Jewish ancestry and physical handicap played an important part in her personal life and in her work. Elzbieta Ettinger draws upon numerous interviews with Luxemburg's relatives and acquaintances, upon unpublished letters and personal memoirs. Using her extensive knowledge of Polish-Jewish history and culture, Ettinger demonstrates for the first time how Luxemburg's life in Poland shaped her future. Her emergence as a powerful revolutionary thinker, her volatile love affairs, her painful conflicts, unfold amid the turbulent decades of rising international socialism, the First World War and the Russian Revolution. Although repeatedly imprisoned by the governments of Germany and Russia, Luxemburg continued to fight her political battles, often alone. Alternately praised and reviled by prominent socialists, she stubbornly opposed rigid dogma, a stance that led to her polemics against Lenin, whom she both admired and criticized. Emphasising the morality of socialism, insistently disavowing bloodshed and violence, she maintained a vision of a humane, progressive social order that both left and right found threatening. Rosa Luxemburg captures the bravery and brilliance, the doubts and torments, of a woman who challenged every rule and convention of her time. And in spite of her tragic assassination in 1919, aged only 49, her influence on modern European socialism ensures that the Luxemburg legend lives on. Elzbieta Ettinger was born and educated in Poland and moved to the United States in the late 1960s. She is a Thomas Melroy Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and editor and translator of Comrade and Lover, a collection of Rosa Luxemburg's letters to Leo Jogiches.
