A major work of 20th century revolutionary political philosophy by syndicalist Georges Sorel, originally published in his native tongue French in 1908. Despite being a Leftist work, many scholars have called it an important progenitor of fascist ideology. Its scope is unusually broad, including mythology and sociology.
