This book is a collection of primary source documents and writings, edited and introduced by Schulkind, that illuminate the Paris Commune from the perspective of the Left, both during and after the event. The book's central purpose is to provide readers with direct access to the voices, ideas, and experiences of those who supported, participated in, or were deeply influenced by the Commune from a socialist or revolutionary standpoint. It aims to challenge simplistic or antagonistic portrayals of the Commune by allowing its proponents to speak for themselves. Octavo, 308 pp. Mylar protected.
