Frances is a graduate student spending a summer volunteering in rural France, in the hope that tending vegetables and harvesting honey will distract her from a scandal that drove her out of Paris, her research unfinished and her sense of self unmoored. At the eco-farm Noa Noa, named for his adventures in Tahiti, she comes under the influence of its charismatic and domineering owner, Paul. As his hold over her tightens and her plans come unstuck, she finds herself entangled in a strange, uneven relationship.

Paul Lafargue soulève ici des questions qui ne sont pas sans intérêt : le travail est-il véritablement une vertu ? Le travail n'est-il pas la source de nombreux déséquilibres sociaux ? Instaurer un droit à la paresse ne serait-il pas plus profitable à notre société ?

El derecho a la pereza es la obra más célebre de Lafargue, y es el texto más difundido de la literatura socialista a nivel mundial, después de Manifiesto del Partido Comunista, de Karl Marx y Friedrich Engels. Una obra controvertida y revolucionaria tanto para la derecha como para la izquierda. Es un clásico de la literatura socialista-marxista pero que trasciende toda ideología, que nos invita a pensar y cuestionarnos el modelo de sociedad, así como aquellos derechos que defendemos.

"In capitalist society work is the cause of all intellectual degeneracy, of all organic deformity." This essay raises interesting questions: is work really a virtue? Isn't work the source of many social imbalances? These are all questions that lend themselves to an exciting and topical debate on the role of work in our society.

Paul Lafargue propose un court texte argumenté, instructif mais surtout drôle, visant à réhabiliter la paresse comme un droit fondamental de l'homme. C'est un manifeste pour la liberté d'esprit et contre l'abrutissement des masses par le travail ! Car après tout, pourquoi l'effort serait-il plus légitime ? Alors que toute la société valorise la production voire la surproduction, respecter le droit de tous à la paresse ne serait-il pas plus confortable et plus égalitaire ?

Frances is an English graduate student bruised by a messy breakup. On the spur of the moment, she decides to volunteer at a farm in rural France with the hope that the change of scenery will help clear her head. The farm, curiously named Noa Noa, is owned by Paul, an appealing, enigmatic Frenchman.
