The Conquest of Bread is a book by the anarchist communist Peter Kropotkin. Originally written in French, it first appeared as a series of articles in the anarchist journals Le R volt and La R volte (both edited by Kropotkin). It was first published as a book in Paris in 1892 with a preface by lis e Reclus, who also suggested the title. Between 1892 and 1894 it was serialised, in part, in the London journal Freedom, of which Kropotkin was a co-founder. It has been translated and reprinted numerous times: it was translated into Norwegian already in 1898, and in Japanese, for example, by Kotoku Shusui in 1909.

Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin was a Russian activist, scientist, and philosopher, who advocated anarchism. Born into an aristocratic land-owning family, he attended a military school and later served as an officer in Siberia, where he participated in several geological expeditions. He was imprisoned for his activism in 1874 and managed to escape two years later. He spent the next 41 years in exile in Switzerland, France (where he was imprisoned for almost 4 years) and in England. He returned to Russia after the Russian Revolution in 1917 but was disappointed by the Bolshevik form of state socialism. Kropotkin was a proponent of a decentralised communist society free from central government and based on voluntary associations of self-governing communities and worker-run enterprises. He wrote many books, pamphlets and articles, the most prominent being The Conquest of Bread and Fields, Factories and Workshops, and his principal scientific offering, Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution. He also contributed the article on anarchism to the Encyclop dia Britannica Eleventh Edition, and left unfinished a work on anarchist ethical philosophy.

'Well-being for all is not a dream.'In this brilliantly enjoyable, challenging rallying-cry of a book, Kropotkin lays out the heart of his anarchist beliefs - beliefs which surged around the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and which have a renewed relevance and poignancy today. Humane, thoughtful - but also a devastating critique of how modern society is organized (with the brutal, narrow few clinging onto their wealth and privileges at the expense of the many), The Conquest of Bread is a book to be argued over, again and again.

The Great French Revolution 1789 To 1793 V2 is a historical book written by Peter Kropotkin. The book provides a detailed and comprehensive account of the French Revolution that occurred between 1789 and 1793. Kropotkin, a renowned anarchist and political theorist, offers a unique perspective on the revolution, highlighting the social and economic factors that led to the uprising and the subsequent events that shaped the course of French history. The book is divided into two volumes, with the second volume covering the period from 1792 to 1793. Kropotkin examines the key events of this period, including the overthrow of the monarchy, the establishment of the republic, the Reign of Terror, and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. He also delves into the social and economic conditions that contributed to the revolution, such as the widespread poverty and inequality that existed in France at the time. Throughout the book, Kropotkin provides a critical analysis of the revolution and its impact on French society and politics. He argues that the revolution was a necessary step towards greater democracy and social justice, but also acknowledges the excesses and violence that occurred during the Reign of Terror. Overall, The Great French Revolution 1789 To 1793 V2 is a thought-provoking and informative book that provides a detailed account of one of the most important events in modern European history.
