December 4, 1884 issue

add to cart   close window

The article reviews the book "Icaria: A Chapter in the History of Communism," by Albert Shaw. The book in written in an admirable style. It is at once critical and sympathetic in its tone, and is evidently based upon adequate study and personal observation of the facts involved. The book's first chapter is an account of Étienne Cabet, the founder of the Icarian Community, and of his Utopian romance "Voyage en Icarie." The story would be more interesting one, if it had no instruction for readers in regard to Communism in general.
