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 the Communist Manifesto to The Class Struggles in France and The Critique of the Gotha Programme. Karl Marx was not only a great theorist of capitalism, he was also a superb journalist, politician, historian and above all else a revolutionary. In Paris in 1844 he made the connection between radical philosophy and the working class that would guide his future work, first with the Communist League and later with the International Workingmen's Association. Marx's Political Writings display a profound understanding of history and politics that is still relevant to the very different conditions of today. Containing many classic texts in Marx's oeuvre, including the COMMUNIST MANIFESTO, THE EIGHTEENTH BRUMAIRE OF LOUIS BONAPARTE, his analysis of the Paris Commune and his seminal critique of liberal thought, the three volumes bring together a wide range of his political writings, covering topics as diverse as the revolutions of 1848, the Franco-Prussian War, and the history of the First International. They also include seminal analyses of capitalism that still stand the test of time. They include a new preface, in which activist and writer Tariq Ali sheds light on their publication, as well as detailed historical introductions to each volume by David Fernbach. --------------------------------- Volume 1: The Revolutions of 1848 ISBN: 978 1 84467 603 3/ £12.99 / 368 pages http://www.versobooks.com/books/486-the-revolutions-of-1848 Volume 2: Surveys from Exile ISBN: 978 1 84467 607 1/ £12.99 / 384 pages http://www.versobooks.com/books/489-surveys-from-exile Volume 3: The First International and After ISBN: 978 1 84467 605 7/ £12.99 / 416 pages http://www.versobooks.com/books/488-the-first-international-and-after And available as a set: http://www.versobooks.com/series_collections/13-13-marx%27s-political-writings Each book is available as a library hardback and the hardbacks available as a set.
