The Origin and Ideals of the Modern School - Paperback

by Joseph McCabe (Translator), Editions Ducourt (Editor), Francisco Ferrer (Author)

Francisco Ferrer i Guàrdia (1859-1909) was a radical freethinker, anarchist, and educationist behind a network of secular, private, libertarian schools in and around Barcelona. His execution, following a revolt in Barcelona, propelled Ferrer into martyrdom and grew an international movement of radicals and libertarians, who established schools in his model and promoted his schooling approach.
