"A spectre is haunting Europe - the spectre of Communism." So
begins one of history's most important documents, a work of such
magnitude that it has forever changed not only the scope of world
politics, but indeed the course of human civilization. The
Communist Manifesto was written in Friedrich Engels's clear,
striking prose and declared the earth-shaking ideas of Karl Marx.
Upon publication in 1848, it quickly became the credo of the poor
and oppressed who longed for a society "in which the free
development of each is the condition for the free development of
all."
The Communist Manifesto contains the seeds of Marx's more
comprehensive philosophy, which continues to inspire influential
economic, political, social, and literary theories. But the
Manifesto is most valuable as an historical document, one that led
to the greatest political upheaveals of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries and to the establishment of the Communist
governments that until recently ruled half the globe.
This Bantam Classic edition of The Communist Manifesto includes
Marx and Engels's historic 1872 and 1882 prefaces, and Engels's
notes and prefaces to the 1883 and 1888 editions.
