Mass market paperback. Zustand: Fair. First Printing [Stated]. 143, [1] pages. Footnotes. Selected Bibliography. Addenda [various prior Prefaces]. Front cover scuffed. Some page discoloration noted. This is a revised and modernized translation. It is considered by some to be the most definitive/accurate rendering in English and the inclusion of the several Prefaces by Engels helps in one's understanding of its evolution as a seminal political document. The text has been carefully compared with several variant German texts from Marx and Engel's hands, and includes the famous Preface to the edition of 1888 as well as six other important Prefaces written by Engels. Karl Marx (5 May 1818 14 March 1883) was a German-born philosopher, political theorist, economist, historian, sociologist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. Friedrich Engels (28 November 1820 5 August 1895) was a German philosopher, political theorist, historian, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. He was also a businessman and Karl Marx's closest friend and collaborator, serving as a leading authority on Marxism. Francis B. Randall was a member of the humanities faculty at Sarah Lawrence College from 1961 to 2002, specializing in Russian history. He was born in New York City in 1931 and received his BA from Amherst College in 1952, MA (1954) and Ph.D. (1960) from Columbia University. Prior to his time at Sarah Lawrence, he taught history at Amherst College from 1956 to 1959 and Columbia University from 1959 to 1961. He published many works throughout his career with a particular emphasis on Russian and Soviet history. The Communist Manifesto, originally the Manifesto of the Communist Party, is a political pamphlet written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, commissioned by the Communist League and originally published in London in 1848. The text is the first and most systematic attempt by Marx and Engels to codify for wide consumption the historical materialist idea that "the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles", in which social classes are defined by the relationship of people to the means of production. Published amid the Revolutions of 1848 in Europe, the Manifesto remains one of the world's most influential political documents. Marx and Engels combine philosophical materialism with the Hegelian dialectical method in order to analyze the development of European society through its modes of production, including primitive communism, antiquity, feudalism, and capitalism, noting the emergence of a new, dominant class at each stage. The text outlines the relationship between the means of production, relations of production, forces of production, and the mode of production, and posits that changes in society's economic "base" effect changes in its "superstructure". Marx and Engels assert that capitalism is marked by the exploitation of the proletariat (working class of wage laborers) by the ruling bourgeoisie, which is "constantly revolutionizing the instruments [and] relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society". They argue that capital's need for a flexible labor force dissolves the old relations, and that its global expansion in search of new markets creates "a world after its own image". The Manifesto concludes that capitalism does not offer humanity the possibility of self-realization, instead ensuring that humans are perpetually stunted and alienated. It theorizes that capitalism will bring about its own destruction by polarizing and unifying the proletariat, and predicts that a revolution will lead to the emergence of communism, a classless society in which "the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all". Marx and Engels propose the following transitional policies: the abolition of private property in land and inheritance; introduction of a progressive income tax; confiscation of rebels' property; nationalization of credit, communication, and transport; expansion and integration of industry and agriculture; enforcement of universal obligation of labor; and provision of universal education and abolition of child labor. The text ends with a decisive and famous call for solidarity, popularized as the slogan "Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains".…

Although designated 'Stereotype Edition' on the title page, the setting is in fact identical to the first American edition printed the same year with the dual imprint 'New York: Appleton & Co. London: Swan Sonnenschein & Co.' The ownership inscription to the front free endpaper is dated '5/11/88' suggesting this edition with the sole London imprint was brought to the press towards the end of 1888, the publication date being for-dated to the following year. We can trace no interim publication between this edition and the first English edition which was brought to the press in 1896, and reprinted the following year. Das Kapital was the summation of over twenty-years of research in the reading rooms of the British Museum, and followed on from his earlier work on political economy Zur Kritik der Politisches Oekonomie, printed in 1859. Only the first volume, A critical analysis of capitalist production, was complete at the time of Marx's death in 1883, with this translation by Samuel Moore and Edward Aveling published in London 4 years later. The second and third volumes of Marx's work were published posthumously in 1885 and 1894, but not translated into English until Kerr's edition was printed in 1906 to 1909. Despite the German edition volume two being available in 1885, Engels, in his preface to this translation, explained that he deliberately held off including it in this edition as he felt any translation of the second volume would be incomplete without the translation of the third, which had not yet be published. 'Aveling was the husband of Marx's youngest daughter, Eleanor, and Moore an old friend, an unwilling businessman (like Engels), who later turned to the law and ended as a magistrate in Nigeria.' (PMM). 'The history of the twentieth century is Marx's legacy. Stalin, Mao, Che, Castro - the icons and monsters of the modern age have all presented themselves as his heirs. Whether he would recognise them as such is quite another matter [.] Nevertheless, writing one hundred years after his death half the world's population was ruled by governments that professed Marxism to be their guiding faith. His ideas have transformed the study of economics, history, geography, sociology and literature. Not since Jesus Christ has an obscure pauper inspired such global devotion - or been so calamitously misinterpreted' (Francis Wheen, in his Introduction to Karl Marx, 1999). Scarce. OCLC records just 4 copies of this edition in institutional collections worldwide (Trinity College, Cambridge, University of Southern California, Newberry Library, Illinois, and University of Hong Kong). First Stereotype edition, third appearance in English overall; 8vo (23 x 15 cm); ownership inscription in pen to front free endpaper recto, old residue to front pastedown, a little toned; publisher's blind-stamped maroon cloth, lettered in gilt to spine within single gilt filet border, small puncture hole, slightly soiled and discoloured, spine ends neatly repaired, very good; xxxi, [1], 816pp. Provenance: M.S.

Housed in a custom double-volume clamshell case, quarter chestnut morocco over marbled boards. A lovely copy of this groundbreaking work. Das Kapital was already called "the Bible of the working classes" by the time it was published in England in 1887, four years after the author's death. The text is taken from the third German edition of the first volume, the only one written by Karl Marx. The additional volumes written by Engels from his friend's notes were not translated into English until the 20th century. Upon the appearance of these two volumes in 1887, the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw wrote of Marx: "It is impossible to be sure that further historical research will confirm his interpretation of the past, or experience verify his anticipations; but whilst capitalism lasts he will still make his mark upon his readers, and, through them, on the world.".…
