Book Overview

by Karl Marx (Author)

'Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries unite!' - Karl Marx

The Communist Manifesto came to be a widely read and the most influential text ever written; it became one of the most important political documents of the world. Marx and Engels presented how in due course of time, socialism would end up replacing the prevailing capitalist society. This monumental text discusses communists' theory of history and their relationship between the proletarians and the bourgeoisie. 'Workers of the world, unite!' emerged as the political slogan of The Communist Manifesto.

The book, originally published in 1848 in German, has been banned numerous times and yet remains politically relevant across all times, continuing right from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century.

About Karl Marx

Karl Marx was born in 1818 in Trier, Germany and studied in Bonn and Berlin. Influenced by Hegel, he later reacted against idealist philosophy and began to develop his own theory of historical materialism. He related the state of society to its economic foundations and mode of production, and recommended armed revolution on the part of the proletariat. Together with Engels, who he met in Paris, he wrote the Manifesto of the Communist Party. He lived in England as a refugee until his death in 1888, after participating in an unsuccessful revolution in Germany. Ernst Mandel was a member of the Belgian TUV from 1954 to 1963 and was chosen for the annual Alfred Marshall Lectures by Cambridge University in 1978. He died in 1995 and the Guardian described him as 'one of the most creative and independent-minded revolutionary Marxist thinkers of the post-war world.'
