La Comuna de París

Among the historical chronicle, the front line and the political reflexion, this valuable text separates the reasons and events which leaded from the workers association, the desperate fight for survival and the resistance against the outrage of the French bourgeoisie and the German forces to the violent collapse of the Commune, in 1871.
The about two months in which the Commune resisted heroically are narrated with detail and crudeness by Lissagaray. The more of 30.000 public executions of communards; the tortures and confinements of workers and sympathizers are gathered in a touchy combination of desolation for the epic collapse and admiration for the bravery and dignity of the fighters.
A fundamental testimony, a classic for the left-wing, a touching report about the first worker raising in a great European city to which Karl Marx defined as «the main event in the 19th century».
