""Icaria: A Chapter in the History of Communism"" is a historical book written by Albert Shaw in 1884. The book explores the history of a utopian socialist community called Icaria, which was founded in the mid-19th century by French socialists who immigrated to the United States. Shaw delves into the community's origins, its founding principles, and the challenges it faced in its attempts to create a socialist society. The book also examines the community's eventual decline and dissolution, and the lessons that can be learned from its history. Overall, ""Icaria"" is a fascinating look at a little-known chapter in the history of socialism and communism in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
