Pagini Libere (Free Pages) is a non-hierarchical, decentralized and autonomous publishing collective. Our goal is to publish books, brochures, fanzines etc. in Romanian, and sometimes in other languages as well, with the aim of popularizing and inspiring alternative visions and practices to the current capitalist and authoritarian system. To this end, we will try to cover as many themes, subjects and paradigms as we can: from political, ideological or historical books to prose, poetry, essays and do it yourself manuals.

These accounts span several decades, from the memory of the first few times Nicolas ”stepped out of line” and his early political actions in communist Romania, to his years of […]

A complete (and accurate) edition became available only in 1908, when James […]

“Not only do the Arimanians consider their liberty unhampered by the fact that in each and every move they make they try to take the other’s well-being into consideration, but through the other’s liberty they see one’s own liberty becoming whole.” – Iuliu Neagu-Negulescu About Arimania Utopian literature never enjoyed much consideration or sympathy in […]

(2003) and many others through the translation and retrieval of anarchist texts, was an important one for the movement. All the more so in the […]

Anstatt ein Kommentar über die Zweckdienlichkeit – oder auch nicht – der vom Staat auferlegten Quarantänemaßnahmen zu sein, was eine ganz andere Diskussion wäre, ist das ein Kommentar zu biopolitischen Regierungstechniken und zum Verhalten der „Bevölkerung“ in dieser Zeit, von der es den Herrschenden gelang sie als „globale Gesundheitskrise“ zu definieren. Ich denke, dass die […]

A Vrijcoop holland bérházhálózatot 2015-ben alapították. Célja, hogy társprojektjei és azok tagjai számára szolidáris lakhatást biztosítson. A szolidáris lakhatás gondolata és igénye egyrészt a foglaltház-mozgalom történetéből származik, amely arra törekedett, hogy az elhagyott, kiürült ingatlanokat közösségi és kollektív terekké alakítsa, illetve hogy visszacsatolja azokat a kulturális, közösségi és/vagy lakhatási körforgásba – másrészt pedig annak a […]

The idea and the need for solidarity housing has its roots in the squatting movement which tried to transform abandoned, unused real estate into community and collective spaces, to re-introduce them into […]

I find it amusing to morph something as humourless and self-important as “nihilism” into something self-ironic and ambivalent and, in this form, to harness it to my own projects. This mutant nihilism aims to be fluid, jolly, playful and gregarious and leaves behind the carceral Luna Park of the city to invent games about autonomy on the land.

Yes, you’ve probably heard them on TV, on the radio, or read about their pitiful cries on financial sites, in open letters addressed to government officials through social media sites.

Pandemic and coronavirus (Covid-19) are the words used almost everywhere around the world. The fear is real and it’s spreading like wildfire with every passing second. But, in times of panic and fear, we should not fall prey to the fearmongers who profit off the disgusting panic shows they put on tv or on different […]

So through individual action and collective alternatives we may find ourselves not needing royal institutions any more – we will get to states in other posts –, leaving them to decay in their castles and mansions and, maybe in the future, transfer them into museums for future generations to see our progress.

Anarchism seems to have attracted a steady growing interest since the late nineties. The number and quality of studies since, dedicated to the various facets of a movement previously and for a long time relegated to oblivion or derision, bear solid testimony to an apparently newly discovered relevance of the subject, translated both in its […]

Panait Mușoiu (1864-1944) lived for a while on an alleyway next to Văcărești Street. A sort of Thoreau from the slums of Bucharest, “Pious Panait” as his friends jokingly called him was one of the shabby Jewish neighbourhood’s most familiar faces. Some kind of an eccentric wiseman, the anarchist Mușoiu gained the admiration of those […]

Notice La langue française est une des langues de la naissance de l’anarchisme et de ses premières formulations. Pour la plupart des anarchistes roumains, elle a été vraiment la langue de „l’anarchie”. C’est justement par son intermédiaire que les idées anarchistes ont été découvertes, explorées et circulées au début en Roumanie. Les liens entre les […]
