In these brand-new editions of Marx’s Political Writings we are able to see the depth and range of his mature work from 1848 through to the end of his life, from \u003ci\u003eThe Communist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eThe Class Struggles in France\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Critique of the Gotha Programme\u003c\/i\u003e. With new introductions by activist and writer Tariq Ali which examine the texts that have become essential works in Marx’s canon. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVolume 1: \u003ci\u003eThe Revolutions of 1848\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e: Marx and Engels had already sketched out the principles of scientific communism by 1846. Yet it was from his intense involvement in the abortive German revolution of 1848 that Marx developed a profound practical understanding he would draw on throughout his later career. This volume includes his great call to arms—The Communist Manifesto—and also demonstrates Marx’s unsuccessful attempt to spur the German bourgeoisie to decisive action against absolutism. His articles offer trenchant analyses of events in France, Poland, Prague, Berlin and Vienna, while speeches set out changing communist tactics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVolume 2: \u003ci\u003eSurveys from Exile\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e: In the 1850s and early 1860s Marx played an active part in politics, and his prolific journalism from London offered a constant commentary on all the main developments of the day. During this time Marx began to interpret the British political scene and express his considered views on Germany, Poland and Russia, the Crimean War and American Civil War, imperialism in India and China, and a host of other key issues. \u003ci\u003eThe Class Struggles in France\u003c\/i\u003e develops the theories outlined in \u003ci\u003eThe Communist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e into a rich and revealing analysis of contemporary events, while \u003ci\u003eThe Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte\u003c\/i\u003e contains equally stimulating reflections on Napoleon III’s coup d’etat of 1851.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVolume 3: \u003ci\u003eThe First International and After\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e: The crucial texts of Marx’s later years—notably \u003ci\u003eThe Civil War in France\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCritique of the Gotha Programme\u003c\/i\u003e—count among his most important work. These articles include a searching analysis of the tragic but inspiring failure of the Paris Commune, as well as essays on German unification, the Irish question, the Polish national movement and the possibility of revolution in Russia. The founding documents of the First international and polemical pieces attacking the disciples of Proudhon and Bakunin and the advocates of reformism, by contrast, reveal a tactical mastery that has influenced revolutionary movements ever since.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50947807281440,"sku":"9781844676101","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/marxs-political-writings","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
