Der kan være mange grunde til at læse brevvekslingen fra slutningen af 1800-tallet til efter Den russiske Revolution mellem vor egen internationalt berømte litterat, Georg Brandes, og den ligeså navnkundige russiske anarkist og adelsmand, fyrst Peter Kropotkin, som Det Poetiske Bureaus Forlag nu for første gang udgiver i dansk oversættelse (de skrev sammen på fransk) ved Vagn Lyhne & Lis Norup, der også har udstyret bogen med forord og noter. Alene dette forord, med beskrivelse af de to mænds respektive baggrunde og fortællingen om det politiske mord, der første til korrespondancen, er spændende som en, ja … kriminalroman. Brevene beskriver både de to mænds politiske tanker og overvejelser og de hændelser i dagspressen, som de tager farve af.
Prince Peter Kropotkin (born in 1842) was best known as an anarchist philosopher, and many do not realize that in the early 20th-century he wrote and lectured in the United States on Russian literature. But Kropotkin, in his preface, complains that: "It is by no means an easy task to speak or to write about the literature of a country, when this literature is hardly known to the audience or to the readers."
The Conquest of Bread is Peter Kropotkin's most detailed description of the ideal society, embodying anarchist communism, and of the social revolution that was to achieve it. Marshall Shatz's introduction traces the evolution of Kropotkin's thought, and the volume also includes a number of his shorter writings.
