What if, this autumn, you were to discover the story of an anarchist body-builder juggler pedagogue?
It's time to get back to reading that makes you think, surprises and inspires. Why not start with this short book devoted to Joseph Jean Auguste Gay, known as Spirus Gay (1865-1938) - a character with a thousand lives:
pioneer of jiu-jitsu and bodybuilding, pamphleteer, freemason, anarcho-syndicalist, revolutionary pedagogue advocating an integral education (body, head, heart).
Based on previously unpublished archives, this book paints a portrait of a radical thinker who remains astonishingly relevant today.
A book to read, to offer, to discuss... to start the year off right, or to shake up the certainties around you - in the teachers' lounge, between 2 classes or elsewhere.
