![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bringing together dozens of contributions, this extraordinary book helps us to discover, far beyond the handful of canonized figures, a multitude of unknown and forgotten actors, and to contextualize and reassess a number of crucial events (from the birth of the Commune itself to the bloody week of its tragic defeat). My preferred one – and my favorite reading of the year – is an original and beautiful dictionary edited by Michel Cordillot, La Commune de Paris 1981: Les acteurs, les événements, les lieux (Paris: Editions de l’Atelier, 2020). In 2021, the anniversary of the Paris Commune gave rise to a wave of books in many languages. As 2021 wraps up we asked Verso authors to choose a book they read this year that made an impact on their thinking, brought them joy, or that they would simply whole-heartedly recommend.ĭon't forget: ALL Verso books are 40% off until January 4 as part of our end of year sale.Įnzo Traverso, author of Revolution: An Intellectual History: ![]()
