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.
