- Biografía breve
- He was born in 1959. His parents separated when he was three years old, and he was brought up by in north London by his mother, the well-known feminist, Eva Figes. It probably wasn't an ordinary childhood in the way those of us who didn't move in leftwing intellectual circles - Robert Graves and Günter Grass were family friends - might understand it, but it felt ordinary enough to Figes, who went to the local primary and comprehensive.

Reseñas
Un relato fascinante y una celebración de la grandeza de la cultura rusa y de las extraordinarias vidas de quienes le dieron forma.
los europeos es la historia apasionante del nacimiento de la cultura compartida de nuestro continente en el siglo XIX, contada a través de un maravilloso y extraño triangulo amoroso formado por el gran escritor Iván Turguénev, Pauline Viardot, de origen español, una delas cantantes de opera mas famosa del mundo , y su marido, Luis Viardot, hispanista francés y gran experto en arte.
De gran alcance, basado en una exhaustiva investigación original y escrito con pasión, habilidad narrativa y simpatía humana, A People's Tragedy es la versión definitiva de la Revolución Rusa para una nueva generación.

Figes (history, Univ. of London; A People's Tragedy) describes the twists and turns of Russian history through cultural and artistic events from the founding of Rus in the 12th century through the Soviet era. He uses Tolstoy's War and Peace as a centerpiece of art imitating life. The title of Figes's book comes from the scene in which Natasha Rostov and her brother Nikolai are invited by their "uncle" to a rustic cabin to listen to him play Russian folk music on his guitar. Natasha instinctively begins a folk dance that is prompted by "unknown feelings in her heart." Tolstoy would have us believe that "Russia may be held together by unseen threads of native sensibilities," writes Figes. Nowhere is the clash between the European culture of the upper class and the Russian culture of the peasantry more evident. "The complex interactions between these two worlds had a crucial influence on the national consciousness and on all the arts of the 19th century." This interaction is a major feature of this book, which traces the formation of a culture. The writing style is distinctly nonacademic, making for a very enjoyable read.
