This anthology comprises three pamphlets -- The Poverty of Student Life; Totality for Kids; and The Decline and Fall of the Spectacular Commodity Economy, plus eyewitness accounts of the Paris May '68 events. Much of the Situationist creed was produced in pamphlet form and these were crucial in creating the Situationist legend. They provide both an introduction to the ideas of the Situsand a provocatively seductive invitation to a life of freedom & revolt which prefigures many of the themes of today's mass protestors. Illustrated throughout with photos of the May '68 events and thegraffiti that played such a famous role. The 7x7 size replicates the size of the Parisian cobblestones used by the protestors.
