This is an abridged version of the Anarchist Encyclopedia. The original was a four-volume compendium of anarchist thought and analysis compiled by the anarchist activist and writer Sébastien Faure. Within its pages can be found articles on political, social, and philosophical questions written from every point of view within the anarchist movement, by many of the most important figures of anarchism, like Faure, Max Nettlau, Emile Armand, Voline, and Errico Malatesta. It is a perfect reflection of the openness of anarchism, an unequaled assembly of the riches of the movement, and an essential text that has sadly been unavailable in English. Although much shorter, our selection reflects the depth and range of the original. Mitchell Abidor's lengthy Introduction provides historical context, biographical detail about the contributors, and an overview of political philosophies covered.

Work Description
The Anarchist Encyclopedia was an encyclopedia initiated by the French anarchist activist Sébastien Faure, between 1925 and 1934, published in four volumes.
The original project was to be in five parts:
-
an anarchist dictionary
-
a history of anarchist thought and action
-
biographies of militants and thinkers
-
biographies of individuals having contributed by their works to human emancipation
- a catalogue of anarchist books and reviews
Only the first part in four volumes of 2,893 pages was made. It included many anarchist tendencies. There were several hundred collaborators including, in addition to Sebastien Faure himself, Luigi Bertoni, Pierre Besnard, Émile Armand, Han Ryner, Augustin Souchy, Max Nettlau, Voline, Aristide Lapeyre, Gérard de Lacaze-Duthiers, and others.
