Left Books

Ebooks, audo, and snipping all in one place.

at a divest rally with Palestine Solidarity one of the protestors gave me this book recommendation.

Worth a read?

The Anarchist Library is a great archive of free books and essays on the topic of Anarchism. Some newer books won't be available there due to copyright (thanks Capitalism! /s).

Here's some recommendations to get you started:

• Demanding the Impossible: A History of Anarchism, Peter H. Marshall
• The Conquest of Bread, Pëtr Kropotkin
• No Gods, No Masters: An Anthology of Anarchism, Daniel Guérin
• Anarchism: A Very Short Introduction, Colin Ward
• Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution, Pëtr Kropotkin
• God and the State, Michail Bakunin

\*Dear mod: I don't think there's any copyright concerns with the linked texts, but if there is I'll remove the direct links. I only added them because the search function on the archiveis a bit borked, so it can be hard to find what you're looking for.

Personally I very much enjoy Orwells books, Down and Out in Paris and London has to be one of my favorite book of his just for the issues the book tackles and tackles well. Orwell goes headlong in to class structures depicting his day to day of his life as a tramp, the simple yet devastating way he got into that situation and the all in-composing despair of financial ruin.

Also the communist that drinks all the milk to spite his boss had me hard.

Then Orwell later writes Animal Farm...
