Classics is a new series of essential works. From the musings of
intellectuals such as Thomas Paine in Common Sense to the striking
personal narrative of Harriet Jacobs in Incidents in the Life of a
Slave Girl, this new series is a comprehensive collection of our
intellectual history through the words of the exceptional few.
Originally published as a political pamphlet in 1848, amidst the
revolutions in Europe, The Communist Manifesto documents Karl Marx
and Friedrich Engels's theories on society and politics. It does so
by defining the state of the class system in contemporary Europe in
which a larger, lower class is controlled and oppressed by a
tyrannical, oppressive upper class. The Manifesto argues that, at
some point in history, the lower class will inevitably realize
their potential and exploitation and subsequently revolt. Once this
occurs, Marx and Engels argue, there will be an uprising among
proletariats that shifts political and economic power, ultimately
resulting in the dismantling of class systems and capitalism.
Additionally, in the Manifesto, Marx and Engels also predict the
future state of the global economy and discuss their viewpoints on
private property, while also addressing many other topics pertinent
to today's world. Although written nearly 170 years ago, The
Communist Manifesto is still widely read and cited. Amid the
current turmoil between social classes and the societies of the
world, its revolutionary prose and ideas can still yield ripe food
for thought.
DISCOVER THE WORK THAT LAUNCHED REVOLUTIONS AROUND THE WORLD
Although it was published in 1848, The Communist Manifesto is as
controversial and provocative as ever. Its stirring and poetic
language helped spread Marx and Engels' socialist message far and
wide, unleashing a century of political revolution. In an age of
great inequality, the Manifesto's message of an exploited and
suffering working class that must rise up and claim the means of
production and wealth continues to resonate. This deluxe edition
features an insightful introduction from Tom Butler-Bowdon which
explains how the text came to be written, and why it remains
popular.
