Against His-Story, Against Leviathan! is a 1983 book by Fredy Perlman, for which he is best known.[1][2] It is a personal critical perspective on contemporary civilization and society, illustrated with plates from William Blake's illustrations of The Divine Comedy.[2] The work defined anarcho-primitivism for the first time,[3] and was a major source of inspiration for anti-civilization perspectives in contemporary anarchism, most notably on the thought of philosopher John Zerzan.[4] In 2006 the book was translated into French under the title Contre le Léviathan, contre sa légende[5] and into Turkish as Er-Tarih’e Karşı, Leviathan’a Karşı.[6] In 2019 it was translated into Spanish as Contra el Leviatán y contra su historia.[7][8]
