Elisée Reclus, Correspondance

Près d'un siècle après sa publication de 1911 à 1925, la correspondance du géographe anarchiste Elisée Reclus vient d'être réimprimée. Sa place est, bien sûr, dans toutes les bibliothèques libertaires, étant donné la qualité de son auteur mais aussi celle d'une vie qui fut à la fois exemplaire de la naissance à la mort mais aussi bien aventureuse.

Il va de soi que la lecture de cette correspondance ne sera bien comprise qu'après une bonne fréquentation d'une biographie du personnage. Il en existe plusieurs, dont certaines sont toujours chez les bons libraires.

Trade Union Emblems

A new booklet, Symbolism in trade union emblems from the collection of the Working Class Movement Library, has been produced. The fruits of many months' labour by volunteer Hazel Bowden, the illustrated booklet investigates the roots of the wide-ranging and complex imagery of the many 19th century trade union membership certificates which line the Library's walls. Copies are available from the Library and cost £2.50 plus 50p p&p.. More information: [mailto]enquiries@wcml.org.uk[/mailto].
