Books

On its communist foundation, Revolution Books offers a diverse and cutting-edge collection of books on history, politics, philosophy, economics, revolutionary theory, science, ecology, the arts, religion and atheism, as well as a selection of fiction and poetry.

At the heart of Revolution Books is the work of Bob Avakian. His radical re-envisioning of revolution and communism goes beyond even the best of previous socialist societies—and is as viable as it is liberating.

Below is a selection of the books we have in the store.

Charles Freeman

Blessed is he who learns to engage in inquiry, with no impluse to harm his countrymen or to pursue wrongful actions, but perceives the order of immortal and ageless nature, how it is structured.
Euripides,
fragment from an unnamed play. Fifth Century B.C.


There is another form of temptation, even more fraught with danger. This is the disease of curiosity...It is this which drives us to try and discover the secrets of nature, those secrets which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing and which man should not wish to earn.
Augustine,
late Fourth/early Fifth Century A.D.
