"The Role of the Individual in History" by Georgi Plekhanov explores the intricate relationship between individuals and historical events. Plekhanov argues that while historical forces shape the course of events, individuals possess the power to significantly influence history. Drawing upon examples from various historical periods, Plekhanov examines the role of exceptional individuals in sparking social change and shaping the course of nations. The book highlights the dialectical nature of history, asserting that individuals are both products of their historical context and agents of change.
