About: Something of an interesting piece. Written by Mikhail Bakunin, considered by many to be the Father of Anarcho-Collectivism. First published in 1871, this has seen LITTLE publication. My basic (and incomplete) understanding is this: Refusing the authority of the French Government, the Paris Commune was a radical socialist, anti-religion and revolutionary government that took control of Paris for a VERY BRIEF 2 months (or so) in 1871, following the capture of Emperor Napoleon III and the fall of the 2nd French Empire. This uprising was put down in later May (1871) by the regular French Army in a period referred to as The Bloody Week. From the opening paragraph: "This work, like all my published work, of which there has not been a great deal, is an outgrowth of events. It is the natural continuation of my Letters to a Frenchman (September 1870), wherein I had the easy but painful distinction of foreseeing and foretelling the dire calamities which now beset France and the whole civilized world, the only cure for which is the Social Revolution. My purpose now is to prove the need for such a revolution. I shall review the historical development of society and what is now taking place in Europe, right before our eyes. Thus all those who sincerely thirst for truth can accept it and proclaim openly and unequivocally the philosophical principles and practical aims which are at the very core of what we call the Social Revolution." (from the rear cover), Cira, the publication, began in 1957 and strove to collect archives and documents of the Anarchist movement; to provide information to interested people, historians, and students; and to encourage research into anarchism. I will happily answer any further questions. Making offers: I certainly can appreciate wanting a better deal, and I've made offers myself on my own purchases. To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers. Best not to waste our time. With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer. If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings. I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases. I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success.
