In den WarenkorbParis, Maurice Lachatre et Cie [in cop: Librairie du Progrès, Henry Oriol, Directeur], [1872-1875] s. d., Prima edizione francese, prima tiratura. Ex libris «Feuerbacher Heide No 8687» al contropiatto anteriore. Le diffuse ma leggere fioriture, un principio di sfascicolazione alla prime pagine e i pochi segni del tempo alla legatura non intaccano la bellezza dell'esemplare. Prima edizione francese in volume del 'Capitale' di Marx nell'esemplare ricopertinato dalla Librairie du progress di Henry Oriol, che divenne direttore della casa editrice nel 1882. L'esemplare presenta tutti gli elementi che identificano la prima tiratura (cfr. «Books that made Europe», p. 248): all'occhietto indicazione «Prix de Livraison: Dix centimes» (2a tiratura: rimossa); al frontespizio vignetta con scorcio di una città (2a tiratura: allegoria dei diritti dell'uomo) e il nome dell'editore «Maurice Lachâtre» (2a tiratura: «Libraire du Progrès»); al verso del frontespizio vignetta litografica (2a tiratura: assente); dedicatoria di Lachatre a Marx (2a tiratura: assente). La traduzione francese, come noto, si deve a Joseph Roy: sebbene la critica abbia espresso un giudizio negativo sulla versione, giudicandola approssimativa e lacunosa, essa fu costantemente sorvegliata e infine approvata dallo stesso Marx. Copia illustrata, con testo stampato su due colonne, arricchita dal ritratto dell'autore e dal facsimile della lettera a Maurice Lachatre. «La richesse des sociétés dans lesquelles règne le mode de production capitaliste s'annonce comme une 'immense accumulation de marchandise.' L'analyse de la marchandise, forme élémentaire de cette richesse, sera par conséquent le point de départ de nos recherches. La marchandise est d'abord un objet extérieur, une chose qui par ses propriétés satisfait des besoins humains de n'importe quelle espèce. Que ces besoins aient pour origine l'etomac ou la fantaisie, leur nature ne change de rien à l'affaire. Il ne s'agit pas non plus ici de savoir comment ces besoins sont satisfaits, soit immédiatement, si l'objet est un moyen de subsistance, soit par une voie détournée, si c'est un moyen de production.

In den WarenkorbFirst edition in French, first issue; folio (29 x 20 cm); 351pp; two title-pages with engraved vignettes, engraved portrait, facsimile letter from Marx and from the publisher, stamp of previous bookseller on title-page, previous owner's signature "G.See" on front free endpaper; contemporary green half calf, decorated boards, some wear to the extremities; overall a good copy. First edition in French of the first volume of Das Kapital. This is the first issue with the publisher Lachâtre's imprint. The book was published in parts from August 1872 to November 1875 and then bound in total upon completion. Originally published in German 1867 this French edition was only the second translation, preceded only by the Russian translation of 1872, but Marx collaborated greatly with Lachâtre and he felt that this translation was more important than the Russian and his extensive work on the project means "Le Capital was not a mere translation, but rather an original work, relevant from a textual point of view" (Books that Made Europe, p. 248). Maurice Lachatre (1814-1900) was a Parisian radical bookseller, publisher, and collaborator of Félix Pyat's (with whom Marx butted heads over the growth of the International Working Men's Association in France). Lachatre's projected publication of the anarchist newspaper "La Commune" nearly cost him his life after the fall of the Paris Commune, when his bookshop was attacked with murderous intent by the Versaillaise army. It was while exiled first in Belgium and then Switzerland that Lachatre began work on publishing the present edition, though he was not free to return to Paris until 1879. The second and third volumes of Das Kapital were published after Marx's death by Engels in 1885 and 1894, and were first published in French in 1900 and 1902. The history of the twentieth century if 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 of 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). The signature "G.See" could belong to Germain Sée, (1818- 1896),a well known French doctor who specialised in the study of lung and cardiovascular diseases. Books that Made Europe p.248.

In den WarenkorbTall quarto (277 x 194 mm). Contemporary black quarter roan, dark brown pebble-grain cloth over boards, green page marker. 2 engraved title pages, 1 engraved portrait frontispiece with autograph, facsimile autograph letter from Marx to the publisher, dated 18 March 1872, with Lachatre's reply to verso, engraved head- and tailpieces. Text in two columns. First edition in French, first issue, a fine presentation copy, inscribed by Marx to the Frankfurt banker Sigmund Schott, with whom Marx exchanged ideas central to his philosophies and work: "Mr Sigmund Schott, de la part l'auteur, Londres, 3 Novembre 1877" to the first engraved title page. Presentation copies of Capital are exceptionally rare, with only seven others having been offered at auction in the last 60 years, just two of those being the first edition in French as here. Sigmund Schott was a German bank director and journalist. He was also a literary critic, bibliophile, and corresponded with some of the most important intellectual figures of the epoch. In certain editions of Marx's correspondence, Schott was misidentified as the German politician (1818-1895), with whom he shared the same name. As a result, the importance of the relationship between the young banker and the philosopher has perhaps been underexposed. Schott and Marx wrote to one another on a number of occasions over several months, and in the letter that originally accompanied the present volume - and bears the same date as the inscription: 3 November 1877 - Marx details his approach to constructing Capital. "Dear Sir," Marx begins. "My best thanks for the packages. Your offer to arrange for other material to be sent to me from France, Italy, Switzerland, etc. is exceedingly welcome, although I feel reluctant to make undue claims on you. I don't at all mind waiting, by the by, nor will this in any way hold up my work, for I am applying myself to various parts of the book in turn. In fact, privatim, I began by writing Capital in a sequence (starting with the 3rd, historical section) quite the reverse of that in which it was presented to the public, saving only that the first volume - the last I tackled - was got ready for the press straight away, whereas the two others remained in the rough form which all research originally assumes." Marx then goes on to mention the volume now offered: "I enclose a photograph herewith, because the copy of the French edition that goes off to you at the same time as this letter only contains a very far from flattering likeness done from a London photograph by a Parisian artist. Your most obedient Servant, Karl Marx." This letter, so frequently referenced in critical treatments of Capital, not only sheds light on the genesis of one of the most significant philosophical works to emerge in the last two centuries, but also underscores the author's openness and perhaps even his humour. Additionally, it offers an important contextual background for the presentation copy at hand. Given the nature of other examples of correspondence between the two men, it would seem that Schott and Marx regularly exchanged ideas pertaining to banking and social economy. In a letter sent from London, and dated 29 March 1878, Marx wrote to Schott: "I have, though somewhat belatedly, obtained Volume IV (Industrieactien) of the Saling, to which you so kindly drew my attention. I did not wish to reply to your letter until I had at length had time to run through the thing, and have found it very useful Finally, I have one more thing to ask of you, namely to be so kind, provided it is not too time-consuming, as to let me have a list of the names of Perrot's published writings on the subject of joint-stock companies, etc." Given the tenor of this letter, it would seem that Marx quite relied on Schott for information relating to the financial theories of the day, and that Schott was eager to supply Marx with literature relevant to his work. Le Capital was published in France in 44 "livraisons" between Au.
