The book includes a variety of Kropotkin's writings on topics such as anarchism, socialism, communism, and the role of the state in society.

He also critiques the capitalist system, imperialism, and the state's use of violence to maintain power. The essays in this book provide insight into Kropotkin's influential anarchist philosophy and his vision for a more just and equitable society.1927. The collected writings of Peter Kropotkin. Kropotkin grew up in the midst of the struggle between the peasants and workers and the government. He was born a prince of the old nobility of Moscow, was trained as a page in the Emperor�������s court, and at twenty became an officer in the army. The discovery that he was engaged in revolutionary activities in St. Petersburg while he was presumably devoting his life to scientific geography, caused a sensation.
