Synopsis

Le chef-d'œuvre de Paul Lafargue, The Right To Be Lazy, à la fois drôle et sérieux, spirituel et profond, élégant et puissant, est une extension logique du droit à la poursuite du bonheur annoncé par Thomas Jefferson dans la déclaration d'indépendance. Il a non seulement été extrêmement populaire, mais a également donné des résultats pragmatiques, inspirant le mouvement pour la journée de huit heures et l'égalité de rémunération pour les hommes et les femmes qui effectuent un travail égal. Il survit comme l'une des rares pièces d'écriture à sortir du mouvement socialiste international du XIXe siècle qui est non seulement lisible, même agréable, mais pertinent.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Thiers, at a private session of the comnission on primary education of 1849, sad :T vish to make the influence of the clergy allpowerful because I count upon it to propagate that good philosophy which teaches man that he is here below to suffer, and not that other philosophy which on the contrary bids man to enjoy. M. Thiers was stating the ethics of the capitalist class, whose fierce egoism and narrow intelligence he incarnated. The Bourgeoisie, when it was struggling against the nobility sustained by the clergy, hoisted the flag of free thought and atheism; but once triumphant, it changed its tone and manner and today it uses religion to support its economic and political supremacy.
