The Conquest of Bread Review: Beautiful and great quality - I recently listened to The Conquest of Bread as an audio book and really wanted a physical copy to study in depth. This version is very high quality for the low price. The cover has a lovely, almost velvety texture and the font is large enough to be comfortable for reading. This is a good introduction to Anarchist Communism. It is beautifully and intelligently written and still relevant today although it was written over 100 years ago. It filled me with a sense of hope that we can achieve a better world, that things don't have to be as they are now. Everyone should read this book! Review: Peter Kropotkin THE CONQUEST OF BREAD - 5/5 book was as described Peter Kropotkin said it best “we consult musty books a hundred years old, to know what ancient masters thought on the subject.” This works by Peter KROPOTKIN was published nearly 120 years ago. It was significantly more relevant to the brutality of the current systems in place around Europe which he had observed/experienced in his time(1842-1921). I don’t personally believe this to be relevant to western society at all. Even with my disagreement, there’s always a few kernels of truth in most works. Even KROPOTKIN was absolutely right about too many taxes and wasteful bureaucrats/middle management sucking up too many resources. Krop referenced ancient society’s and villages that utilize communism ALOT. Well to all those who love this book in the reviews we no longer live in the dark ages under feudalism or authoritarianism socialistic regimes. I understand the plight of wishing to create a better system but this isn’t agreeable or doable in today’s world. Jokes aside interesting read about half way through gets pretty stagnant an repetitive. Krop absolutely love the French revolution. He talks about it a lot… i’ll probably read something about that next. One last thing the publisher took this book from public domain and created it as cheaply as possible in order to distribute it… Capitalism is why all these commies are reading this book lol ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #90,799 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Anarchism #6 in Utopian Ideology | | Book 1 of 4 | The Kropotkin Collection | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,305) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.49 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1522093419 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1522093411 | | Item Weight | 12.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 195 pages | | Publication date | August 14, 2017 | | Publisher | Independently published | ## Images ![The Conquest of Bread - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ngXYRhrYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful and great quality *by P***Y on January 29, 2023* I recently listened to The Conquest of Bread as an audio book and really wanted a physical copy to study in depth.

Anarchy by Malatesta and Now and After by Berkman come to mind, but Kropotkin's Conquest of Bread is still a contender. It's not the most simple to read, but it is still the most thorough and explanatory and it comes from the OG himself. If you are an anarchist or interested in anarchist thought, get this book. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Conquest of Bread - Mutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution - Anarchism and Other Essays --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48165157-the-conquest-of-bread](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48165157-the-conquest-of-bread) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
