Peter Kropotkin
Anarchism - the concept of a society without authority, of a civil order without any form of constitution or government - has fascinated people almost as long as we have possessed the power of speculative thought. In the general history of anarchism, the name of Peter Kropotkin dominates.Born in 1842 into an ancient military family of Russian princes, Kropotkin was selected as a child for the elite Corps of Pages by Tsar Nicholas I himself. Shortly before his death in 1921, he had moved so far from his aristocratic beginnings and attained such stature as a libertarian leader that he could write with impunity to Lenin, "e;Vladimir Ilyich, your concrete actions are completely unworthy of the i...
In Russian and French Prisons
Nearly a century has passed since Kropotkin wrote this book yet his criticisms of the penal system are still relevant. It is his own experience in prison, both in France and in Russia, that gives this book its power.
The Conquest of Bread
Written by a Russian prince who renounced his title, this work promotes an anarchist market economy — a system of autonomous cooperative collectives. A century after its initial publication, it remains fresh and relevant.

Kropotkin: 'The Conquest of Bread' and Other Writings
The Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin was the world's foremost spokesman of anarchism at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. The Conquest of Bread is his most detailed description of the ideal society, embodying anarchist communism, and of the social revolution that was to achieve it. Marshall Shatz's introduction to this edition traces Kropotkin's evolution as an anarchist, from his origins in the Russian aristocracy to his disillusionment with the Russian Revolution, and the volume also includes a hitherto untranslated chapter from his classic Memoirs of a Revolutionist, which contains colourful character-sketches of some of his fellow anarchists, as well as an article he wrote summarising the history of anarchism, and some of his views on the Revolution.

The Conquest of Bread
In "The Conquest of Bread," Petr Alekseevich Kropotkin presents a compelling argument for an anarchist society built on the principles of mutual aid and equitable distribution of resources. Through a vivid narrative woven with both philosophical insight and historical evidence, Kropotkin challenges the capitalist paradigm, advocating for a communal approach to bread production and distribution. His work is marked by an eloquent style that blends animating anecdotes with incisive critique, creating a potent call for socio-economic reform during the tumultuous period of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the Industrial Revolution was reshaping societal norms. Kropotkin, a Russian nob...
