Description:

Originally published in 1891, this collection of socialist essays by Paul Lafargue argues against the capitalist notion of work as a moral duty and advocates for the right to leisure time and creative pursuits. The centerpiece of the book is the title essay, which draws on the author's experience as a factory worker to critique the dehumanizing effects of labor under capitalism. This provocative and still-relevant work is introduced by Charles H. Kerr, a prominent American anarchist publisher.
