The Fakir of Florence

The Fakir of Florence is the first novel from Paul Cudenec, who is already known for non-fiction titles such as “Forms of Freedom” and “The Stifled Soul of Humankind”. His 2013 work “The Anarchist Revelation: Being What We’re Meant to Be” is described by John Zerzan in “Why Hope? The Stand Against Civilization” as “the least pessimistic book I can recall reading… It brings anarchist resistance and the spirit together in a very wide-ranging and powerful contribution”. A review by anarchist writer Gabriel Kuhn adds: “The book attempts no less than equipping contemporary anarchism with a footing that is often neglected: the transformation not only of society’s structures but also of people’s souls”.
