«Le droit à la paresse» is the essay by Paul Lafargue, published by La Découverte in paperback (153 pages, in French).
The text is an incisive critique of the cult of work in capitalist society: Lafargue argues that the passion for work has become an obsession that exhausts vital forces and brings individual and social suffering. Against this work ethic, he champions the right to laziness as a path to human dignity, with an ironic and combative argument that connects with nineteenth-century socialist thought.
This French edition includes an introduction by Maurice Dommanget and belongs to the Petite collection Maspero.
Recommended for readers interested in social criticism, political philosophy, and the history of the labor and socialist movement.
