I bought very nice translated edition of Mikhail Bakunin's "God and the State" (orig." Dieu et l'état" published posthumously 1882). This translation to Arabic has been done from French by Aziz Touma. Editing of the book by Abbas Ali Mousa, interior design by Farid Mittan and cover design by Sorour Murad. Published by Nagesh Publishing and Weşanxaneya Şilêr in 2020. Book is part of Anarchism Studies which is a joint series of those publishing houses.

This fierce pamphlet of Bakunin is one the most well known anarchist texts of all time. For me personally this was great impact as young blooming anarchist when developing hatred towards authorities and states. And when I was reading it at same time with Johann Most's "The God Pestilence", together they shaped my intuitive allergy for beliefsystems more into atheism. And it sure is a pleasure to see such a beautiful edition published and then running into it in Rojava. And honestly, this is propably the finest edition I have seen so far. It had many element that I value - hardcover, embossing of letters on the cover paper, gilded edges... such a beauty!
Besides the actual translation of God and the State this book also has four essays from Bakunin in appendix part. They are "On Education", "Stateless Socialism", "God or Labor: The Two Camps" and "What is authority?". Good choices I have to say!

Warto sobie zobaczyć jak tam się drukuje takie rzeczy. Na swoim pixelfedzie (fediwersowym odpowiedniku insta) opublikował mieszkający w Rożawie anarchista z zachodu. Dla zainteresowanych wydanie polskie w Trojce, tekst.
