Where can you find Grothendieck's "Récoltes et Semailles"? Is it available anywhere?
-
4$\begingroup$ It used to be avaliable at the web page of the grothendieck-circle math.jussieu.fr/~leila/grothendieckcircle/mathtexts.php but as you can read there "Grothendieck's writings no longer available as per his demand" and actually the fate of the web site itself is uncertain.... I am also certain that a simple google search will find a copy still avaliable on-line... $\endgroup$– Valerio TalamancaJan 15, 2011 at 12:38

11$\begingroup$ It also used to be available at acm.math.spbu.ru/RS But isn't this a question whose answer Google knows better at any moment than MO? $\endgroup$– RomeoJan 15, 2011 at 14:51

$\begingroup$ @Romeo: Indeed, it's offtopic. Therefore I've voted to close. $\endgroup$– Martin BrandenburgJan 15, 2011 at 15:17

$\begingroup$ So this means that this site hosts Grothendiecks text without his permission? $\endgroup$ Jan 15, 2011 at 15:16

1$\begingroup$ They removed the links from the webpage but apparently most files are still online, look for instance math.jussieu.fr/~leila/grothendieckcircle/pubtexts.php and math.jussieu.fr/~leila/grothendieckcircle/unpubtexts.php. $\endgroup$– LorenzoJan 19, 2011 at 8:28

I've just finished translating all of Récoltes et Semailles into English and it will be published by MIT Press in 2025.

Gallimard (a french book publisher) is going to publish it (in french), the release date is 11-11-2021). For more information: http://www.gallimard.fr/Catalogue/GALLIMARD/Tel/Recoltes-et-Semailles-I-II
EDIT: at this point, we do not know if parts will be edited or even censored (for instance there are some personal attacks in the original version).
Update: Récoltes et Semailles has just been published in two volumes by Gallimard.
Here is a link on the interplanetary file system which should be much more robust: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmaWmdeyPX4dA8dHVhNN2qRtVLWqKTTVMHgHufZMUJut3F
Mateo Carmona freshly transcribed and edited a new version, available as a 1500-page pdf at https://agrothendieck.github.io/divers/ReS.pdf and it looks very nicely done.
