The Communist Menifesto
By
Karl Marx
The Communist Manifesto, drafted on the eve of the 1848 revolutions, is a political text of literary interest and historical insight. It is presented here by Eric Hobsbawm who describes the century and a half of history which has been both shaped and illuminated by the Manifesto. He critically appraises the work and notes that it remained a subterranean text for many decades and did not circulate on a mass scale or achieve a canoncial status until comparatively recently. Professor Hobsbawm also argues that only the complete unfolding of capitalism on a global scale in recent times allows us to take the full measure of Marx and Engels mixture of passion, science and poetry.
