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.

God and the State is one of the ”classics” of anarchist and revolutionary literature. First published in 1882, six years after the death of its author, Mikhail Bakunin, the work was first edited by two of Bakunin’s collaborators, Carlo Cafiero and Élisée Reclus. 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 […]

In the second half of the nineteenth century the notes of Michael Bakunin were printed as Dieu et l’État [God and the State] aiming to hammer a nail both through the authority of supernatural divine forces and in the heart of the state apparatus. Soon in various European peripheries, various anarchist followers brought a third […]

During a 1923 series of lectures on political parties and doctrines at the Romanian Social Institute, the speaker who took the floor on the subject of anarchism concluded: “We do not have a proper militant or theoretical anarchist movement.” Was this really the case? Vlad Brătuleanu is probably the first to use archival documents and […]

The images drawn by Livia Rusz (sometime in the early 1960s) have been entirely rearranged in order to invent a new story, with a narrative and rhetorical style which are unusual for children’s literature. This is a brochure for each and every child, even more so for the naughty and rebellious ones. Csipike’s story contains […]

Murray Bookchin (1921–2006) már gyerekkora óta része volt a forradalmi baloldalnak. A figyelem központjába 1952-ben írt írásaival került, amelyekben azokra a súlyos ökológiai problémákra hívta fel a figyelmet, amelyek mindnyájunk fennmaradását fenyegetik. Az politikai ökológia első szerzői közé tartozott. A környezetrombolás liberális elemzéseivel ellentétben, Bookchin abból indult ki, hogy az ökológiai katasztrófához vezető út azokban […]

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.

Almost a week ago the Whitehouse announced that it had successfully conducted a drone attack in which general Quasem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, was killed. Just a few days ago, national outlets from Iran stated that the country’s air forces launched numerous ground to ground missiles targeting two American bases in Iraq.

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 […]

(Az eredeti cikk román nyelven készült és 2018. december 14-én jelent meg) Budapesten napok óta több ezer felháborodott diák és szakszervezeti tag tüntet azellen a törvénymódosítás ellen, amelyet a magyar miniszterelnök támogatott és, amelyet a parlament hagyott jóvá. A módosítás olyan jogokkal ruházza fel a munkaadókat, amelyeknek megfelelően a munkavállalókat akár évi 400 óra túlórázásra […]
