Elisee Reclus (1830-1905) was a French geographer, anarchist, and writer. He was born in Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, France, and studied at the University of Paris. He was a professor of geography at the University of Lyon from 1866 to 1892. Reclus was a major figure in the anarchist movement, and his works on anarchism, geography, and history were widely read. He wrote several books, including The Earth and Its Inhabitants (1876-1894), which was a comprehensive geography of the world, and Anarchy, Geography, and Modernity (1894), which was a major work on anarchist theory. He also wrote extensively on the history of the French Revolution and the Paris Commune. Reclus was a strong advocate of environmentalism and was an early proponent of the idea of a global commons. He was also a pacifist and a vegetarian. He died in 1905 in Thonon-les-Bains, France.
