Memoirs of a Revolutionary, 1901–1941 is a 1951 memoir by Victor Serge. Posted posthumously in French as Mémoires d’un révolutionnaire, Peter Sedgwick translated an abridged version into English in 1963 with Oxford University Press. A longer version of the translation, with index, glossary and foreword by Adam Hochschild was issued by NYRB Classics in 2012.

An original book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. In 2008, Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, alongside other members of the Department, and acted as the Foundation’s Chair. The project’s original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a “success disaster”, as Jack would say, as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK’s most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi, its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.
