Moses Hess is a major figure in the development of both early
communist and Zionist thought. The Holy History of Mankind appeared
in 1837, and was the first book-length socialist tract to appear in
Germany, representing an unusual synthesis of Judaism and
Christianity that showed the considerable influence upon Hess of
Spinoza, Herder and Hegel. In due course many of Hess's ideas would
find their way into the work of Karl Marx, and into subsequent
socialist thought. The distinguished political scientist Shlomo
Avineri provides the first full English translation of this text,
along with new renditions of Socialism and Communism, A Communist
Credo; and The Consequences of a Future Revolution of the
Proletariat. All of the usual reader-friendly series features are
provided, including a chronology, concise introduction and notes
for further reading, in a work of special relevance to students of
politics, modern European history, and the history of Zionism.
