Originally written in the early 19th century, this rare historical account tells the story of Gracchus Babeuf, a revolutionary socialist who led a failed coup against the French government in 1796. Buonarroti offers a firsthand perspective on Babeuf's daring plan to create a communist utopia, and provides valuable insight into the political and social movements of his time.
