| Les Temps nouveaux |
 Jean Grave was an anarchist from Auvergne who moved to Paris in the mid 19th Century. In 1892, he published an anarchist tract entitled Dying Society and Anarchy. In many ways, it was an extension of theories laid down by Piotr Kropotkin. The book appeared during the anarchist uprisings in the late 19th Century. Consequently, Grave was jailed for two years under the "rogue laws" for the provocation violence. The book was not without its rewards. With royalties from its sales, Grave founded Les Temps nouveaux
The New Times was originally published monthly but financial difficulties forced Grave to roll back to every other month beginning in 1909. From 1911 until its demise, Grave was able to publish weekly. The newspaper literally died with the onset of war in August 1914. Patriotism in the face of war trumped Grave's anarchist ideals. Hermann-Paul was a periodic contributor. His work appeared in the newspaper and its supplements.
