Mikhail Bakunin
Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin. Sometimes anglicized to Michael Bakunin. ( ; – 1 July 1876) was a Russian revolutionary anarchist. He is among the most influential figures of anarchism and a major figure in the revolutionary socialist, social anarchist, and collectivist anarchist traditions.

Later in Paris, he met Karl Marx and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, who deeply influenced him. Bakunin's increasing radicalism ended hopes of a professorial career.

Jeanne-Marie Sens
Jeanne-Marie Sens (born 8 December 1937 in Paris) is a French singer, songwriter, author and editor. Biography Jeanne-Marie Sens began recording in the early 1970s, including adopting the Giani Esposito song ''Les Clowns'' in 1972, released by the Warner label the following year. Her inspiration is, at times, melancholic, poetic, and refractory in the face of an increasingly dehumanized world. In 1973, her protest song ''En plein cœur'', in which her lyrics are set to music by Jean-Pierre Pouret, achieved success and notoriety. The following year brought her another hit with the prescient and sad portrait of a child cooped up in the city: ''L’Enfant du 92e'', for which she co-wrote the lyrics with Lowery, set to the music of Belgian singer-interpreter Pierre Rapsat. Jeanne-Marie Sens gives the impression that she prefers to live in a world of imagination and fantasy, which is more beautiful than reality, and the many records she aimed at a child audience tend to confirm th ...
