That's as much as I can remember, but my recommendations are bias towards my interests.
George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia discusses the anarchists in Spain (specifically Barcelona and the surrounding areas) at length.
There's also The Zapatista Reader, edited by Tom Hayden. It's a collection of newspaper articles, speeches, correspondence, and analysis concerning the EZLN in Chiapas, Mexico. I linked to Amazon because, as far as I know, there isn't a PDF version online. You should be able to get it through any public or university library exchange, though.
There are also numerous threads on /r/AskHistorians about Spain, Ukraine, and other anarchist movements; I recommend checking them out.
>Also, are there any other societies which attempted to construct an anarchist society? I heard Paris Commune was one.
The Paris Commune wasn't strictly anarchist per se, but it was close enough to count in my opinion. Additionally, there was the Shinmin Autonomous Region from 1929-1932 in what is now Manchuria, although I'm not aware of much (if any) primary documentation in English. Also, you may want to look into the Magonistas during the Mexican Revolution, as well as the role anarchists played in the Cuban revolution (and more generally, the role they played in that country's anti-imperialist struggles in the 19th and 20th centuries).
