Fiction. Germany's Poet-Anarchist John Henry Mackay (1864-1933) wrote this thinly-disguised fictional account of his sojourn to London in 1887. A journey of transformation from revolutionary self-martyrdom to radical self-ownership, the book follows Carrard Auban (a French revolutionary firebrand turned anarcho-individualist) through late-19th century Paris, Chicago, and London. THE ANARCHISTS is one of the very few books that have a right to live.... For insights into life and manners, for dramatic strength, for incisiveness of phrase, and for cold pitiless logic, no book of this generation equals it--New York Morning Herald, quoted in Liberty, December 5, 1891.
