By way of introduction:

We present another work we considered that it is now known again. This is "The moribund society and anarchy" of Jean Grave. This work brought almost immediately after its publication in 1892 the repression against the author by the forceful way he attacks fundamental principles of society dominated by the state, as was the case of militarism. As a result of this work we present, Grave was sentenced to 2 years in prison and a fine of 100,000 francs.

Grave is direct, forceful in his criticism of the State, Capital, Property and other sacred pillars of the rule of the bourgeoisie. His criticisms are not only harsh, direct, but also very reasoned and accurate.

It is a work that pushes every moment the reader / not only deepening the themes it touches, but the organization and commitment to anarchist ideas to fight against the state. This quality is also that we have decided to publish it.

We beg the reader / to when you read this book, please note the date on which it was written, as this will be important in understanding the context in which develops some of the themes.

Unfortunately not deeper, in this introduction, about the life and work of Jean Grave, but the space available is quite short.

We launched excited about this new edition confidence that the words of Grave know us continue the incessant discussion of the social question, because in modern times, as always, is necessary and urgent that these things are discussed to generate more militancy and anarchists generations trained to cope with the deadly enemies of humanity: Capital, Authority, Clergy, State, Private Property ...
