016248Pierre Piotr Kropotkine (1842-1921), prince russe, géographe, anarchiste, théoricien du communisme libertaire. L.S. avec corrections et large partie autographe, 20 mai 1912, 1p in-4 A Charles-François Cazenove (1870-1915), agent littéraire à Londres. « Dear Mr Cazenove, The Conquest of Bread. It is very pleasant news that Chapman and Hall are ready to issue a shilling edition of this book. The offer they make of a royalty of 1 œd a copy is quite satisfactory. It would be so even if it would be only 1d. As to revisions, I do not think there are any to be made. Still, before the printing begins I will carefully read the book over, and perhaps in the last chapter there may be some revision required of the figures, or in the shape of a few additions. As for the title, "The Conquest of Bread" is not quite satisfactory indeed. For France, it had a deeper meaning than it can have in English, this is why Elisée Reclus proposed it. In the German translation we took "well-Being for All" and in the Russian translation it was "Bread and Freedom". Perhaps none of these would be satisfactory. I will thing of it now, and write to you later on. Yours very truly, P Kropotkine. Very best thanks, dear M Cazenove, with the trouble you take with my books. I would be so pleased, indeed, to have a cheep edition of this one. Or - The Way to Well-being (The Conquest of Bread) ? ». Très intéressante lettre pour la nouvelle édition de son ouvrage. [135]
