Head of collection covering 10 years of this important journal founded in January 1885 by Benoît Malon, the theorist of integral syndicalism. It appeared until 1914. It covers the entire period during which Benoît Malon was the Revue's director (1885-1893). Benoit MALON was a friend of Eugène VARLIN, a member of the International Working Men's Association. During the Commune, he organized the defense during the bloody week. Exiled to Switzerland, his socialism became more reformist, and his thinking more anarchist. Back in France, he became a Freemason, and became a theoretician of non-Marxist socialism. To the affirmation of class struggle, he added the cult of law and justice, and the appeal to a feeling of universal human brotherhood, which would inspire JAURES. B.N., Cat. collectif des périodiques IV-p. 344. A rare set from these first 10 years, with an immense wealth of content, the magazine's aim being to be open to all human culture (philosophy, politics, economics, international news, literature, etc.) and to all components of socialism.
