Few documents have had more of an impact on the course of history
as has the Communist Manifesto. From its famous opening lines-"A
specter is haunting Europe: the specter of Communism"-to its final
rallying cry-"Workers of the world unite!"-the words of Marx and
Engels have moved millions to join in the struggle against
capitalism. But they have also inspired a legion of critics,
detractors, and even a few despots to intentionally distort their
meanings so as to sow confusion and justify untold horrors.
According to Hal Draper, these mis-readings have, in part, been
made possible by the enduring prevalence of translations from the
original German that fail to accurately capture the intended
meaning of certain key phrases. In this magisterial volume, Draper
assembles the original German text, the first English translation,
the officially authorized English translation-providing
enlightening commentary throughout-as well as his own new
translation of the pamphlet.
