About this Item
Octavo. VIII, 372pp. Original burgundy cloth with gold lettering and borders on spine. Frontispiece map. Printer's device on title page. Captivating history of the world's first socialist working class uprising. The workers of Paris, joined by mutinous National Guardsmen, seized the city and set about re-organising society in their own interests based on workers' councils. They could not hold out, however, when more troops retook the city and massacred 30,000 workers in bloody revenge. The Paris Commune is often said to be the first example of working people taking power. For this reason it is a highly significant event. This study is complete with its folding map of Paris in 1871. Spine slightly sunned. Minor rubbing along edges. Upper front corner slightly bumped (not affecting pages). Previous owner's signature on fly leaf. Some foxing on very first and very last pages. Binding in overall good+, interior in good+ to very good condition. Seller Inventory # 29020
