Octave Mirbeau is an anarchist. That said, it is appropriate to question the exact scope of this assertion because the revolutionary socialist current is far from being monolithic. This is why, in this article, we attempt to identify the thought of Mirbeau, by comparing it with that of the geographer Élisée Reclus (1830-1905), one of the great references of anarchism in France and in the world. We try to discern what brings the two men together and what separates them, while insisting on the reasons for an impossible meeting.
