His best known and most influential work was Encyclopedie Socialiste, published in 1912. Charles Rappoport (1865 - 1941) was a Russian and French militant communist politician, journalist and writer. A Jewish intellectual, and a multilingual scholar, he's been referred to as "a grand man of French radicalism".
