Anarchisten

Published in 1891, 'Die Anarchisten' by John Henry Mackay is a biographical work that explores the philosophies of individualistic anarchism and communism through the experiences of its protagonist, Auban, who serves as Mackay's alter ego. The narrative contrasts Auban's beliefs with those of his friend Trupp, a fervent supporter of the communist movement, highlighting the tensions within anarchist circles. This philosophical book, which reads like a novel, significantly influenced the European labor movement and sparked discussions in socialist circles, introducing ideas that were largely unfamiliar at the time.
