The definitive introduction to history’s most influential and
controversial political document, updated for a new generation of
readers. Since it was first written in 1848, The Communist
Manifesto has been translated into more languages than any other
modern text. All across the world—in countless places and
idioms—it has been debated, shared, brandished, invoked, banned,
burned, and even declared “dead.” But in an era of escalating
political, economic, health, and environmental crises, Marx and
Engels’ fierce indictment of capitalism is more relevant than
ever, and their Manifesto remains required reading from the
classroom to the picket line. Scholar Phil Gasper draws on his
decades of teaching and organizing experience to produce a
beautifully organized edition of the Manifesto that brings the text
to life. By fully annotating the Manifesto with clear historical
references and explication, a glossary, and including additional
related texts, Gasper provides an accessible and comprehensive
reference edition suited to first-time readers and dedicated
partisans alike.

Utopian and Scientific by Frederick Engels. The State and
Revolution by V. I. Lenin. The Transitional Programme by Leon
Trotsky.
Dialectics of Nature is one of the classics of Marxist liturature.
Engels, analysing the advances of science, demonstrates how
dialectical materialism, the philosophy of Marxism, corresponds to
the very way in which nature unfolds. The revolutionary advances of
nineteenth century science, most notably the discovery of the cell,
the law of conservation and transformation of energy, and Darwinian
evolution, provided the material basis for a dialectical
understanding of nature. For Engels, the dialectics of human
history grew out of the dialectics of nature. Throughout the work,
Engels battles with various unscientific schools of thought
prevalent among scientists, especially idealism and vulgar
materialism. Dialectics of Nature deals more fully than any other
work of Marxism with such problems and categories of dialectics
such as causality, chance (freedom) and necessity, relationship of
induction and deduction, and many more. Even though unfinished,
this outstanding work is amazing for its rich and profound
theoretical content. Despite certain aspects being obsolete,
notably some factual data and timescales, resulting from the
prevailing state of natural science at that time, the general
method and conception of the book remain valid today. The book also
contains Engels' brilliant essay, The Part Played by Labour in the
Transition from Ape to Man, which explains how and by what means
our species originated. It has been described by Richard Levins and
Richard Lewontin as capturing "the essential feature of human
evolution."
The famous lectures to workers on the economic laws that determine
wages and profits.
This title is the classic communist party manifesto which started
this one and a half decade political movement. The seven rarely
published prefaces, mostly written by Frederick Engels after the
death of Karl Marx, are included making this publication the
complete communist manifesto. Although this title is known as one
of the most famous left-wing propagandist publications, it serves
as a lesson for those of all political philosophies. The Communist
Manifesto should be required reading when studying political
science, radicalism and radical political thought.
Using the authorized English translation, edited and annotated by
Engels, this edition features an extensive and provocative
introduction by historian Martin Malia.
