The Anarchists A Picture of Civilization at the Close of the Nineteenth Century

Germany's Poet-Anarchist John Henry Mackay wrote this thinly-disguised fictional account of his sojourn to London in 1887. A journey of transformation from revolutionary self-martyrdom to radical self-ownership, the book follows Carrard Auban (a French revolutionary firebrand turned anarcho-individualist) through late-19th century Paris, Chicago, and London.
