This book, first published in 1920, is an analysis of socialist
trends and a synthesis of proletarian aims. It attempts to
establish the new political philosophy of left-wing socialists and
coins a new term, ‘ergatocracy’ to mean ‘workers’ rule’
and the abolishment of class in the organisation of society.
Economic Trends in Soviet Russia (1930) examines the economic
position of the USSR a decade after the Revolution. It displayed
the contradictions evident in an economy that had been isolated
from the world economy while undergoing great changes, and where
the government was taking control over all aspects of economic
life. Huge factories had been established, yet the countryside
remained pre-industrial; and while the economy was in theory
entirely under State control, in practice currency crises, crises
of production, gluts, crises of demand, pressed hard on one
another’s heels, and were renewed again and again by the
spontaneous play of economic forces.

Ruhle's comprehensive biography of Karl Marx. Written by a leading
Marxist and key figure within the German Labour movement, this is

Marx was a genius.

From the moment of her birth to her death on the scaffold, Mary
Stuart spent her life embroiled in power struggles that shook the
foundations of Renaissance Europe. Revered by some as the rightful
Queen of England, reviled by others as a murderous adultress, her
long and fascinating rivalry with her cousin Elizabeth I led
ultimately to her downfall. This classic biography, by one of the
most popular writers of the twentieth century, breathes life into
the character of one of history's most remarkable women, and turns
her tale into a story of passion and plotting as gripping as any
novel.

The life of the great Portuguese explorer who dared to sail beyond
the horizon The Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521)
is one of the most famous navigators in history-he was the first
man to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, and led the
first voyage to circumnavigate the globe, although he was killed en
route in a battle with natives in the Phillipines. In this
biography, Zweig brings to life the Age of Discovery by telling the
tale of one of the era's most daring adventurers. In typically
flowing and elegant prose he takes us on a fascinating journey of
discovery ourselves. Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was born in Vienna,
into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and
Vienna and was first known as a poet and translator, then as a
biographer. Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the
wars, and was an international bestseller with a string of hugely
popular novellas including Letter from an Unknown Woman, Amok and
Fear. In 1934, with the rise of Nazism, he moved to London, where
he wrote his only novel Beware of Pity. He later moved on to Bath,
taking British citizenship after the outbreak of the Second World
War. With the fall of France in 1940 Zweig left Britain for New
York, before settling in Brazil, where in 1942 he and his wife were
found dead in an apparent double suicide. Much of his work is
available from Pushkin Press.
