“If you are curious and open to the life around you, if you are troubled as to why, how and by whom political power is held and used, if you sense there must be good intellectual reasons for your unease, if your curiosity and openness drive you toward wishing to act with others, to ‘do something,’ you already have much in common with the writers of the three essays in this book.” — Adrienne RichWith a preface by Adrienne Rich, Manifesto presents the...
The Communist Manifestois, perhaps surprisingly, a most engaging and accessible work, containing even the odd shaft of humour in this translation by Samuel Moore for the 1888 English edition. It is, of course, an essential introduction to the thoughts and theories of Karl Marx and his collaborator and editor Friedrich Engels and therefore to the development of communism. This brief but iconoclastic work, essentially a pamphlet, covers the history of the bourgeoisie, aspects of 'class...
"Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa – das Gespenst des Kommunismus." Mit diesen Worten beginnt ein Text, der die Welt veränderte! Er endet mit dem bekannten Aufruf: «Proletarier aller Länder vereinigt euch!» Das Kommunistische Manifest wurde von Karl Marx und Friedrich Engels 1847 im Auftrag des Bundes der Kommunisten verfasst und ist im Februar 1848 in London erschienen, zeitgleich zur Februarrevolution in Frankreich, kurze Zeit vor der Märzrevolution in weiteren Ländern.
Mit viel Witz, Ironie und Tempo setzt sich Karl Marx im Achtzehnte Brumaire des Louis Bonaparte vordergründig mit der Geschichte Frankreichs während der zweiten Französischen Revolution auseinander. Im Kern aber entwickelt er eine kühne Analyse der Verhältnisse und sein Gesellschaft- und Geschichtstheorie. Im Jubiläumsjahr ein Klassiker des großen Denkers.
