A collection of four texts from the 1930s by Ellul and his friend Bernard Charbonneau, published by Seuil in 2014 with the subtitle Textes pionniers de l'écologie politique. Written when the two young men were active in the personalist movement in south-west France, they set out early criticisms of technique, the state and modern society that both later developed. The collection is often cited as an early source of French political ecology. It has not been translated into English.
