communist manifesto : Karl Marx's book that exposes the origin of communism

'No abstract can convey the quality of its opening or closing pages,' Isaiah Berlin wrote of the 'Manifesto'. The revolutionary pamphlet written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels is still surprisingly relevant today. Of course, historical evolution has made some of its parts obsolete -although they have not lost their rhetorical force-, but as a critique of capitalism it is still a fundamental work, without whose reading it is difficult to understand the present. In this new edition and translation we have endeavored to offer a text that is read today as one of the intended readers of Marx and Engels' diatribe would have done, that is, a text addressed above all to ordinary people, understandable to all. . What's more, We have accompanied it with a series of contemporary comments that help to understand the current value of the 'Manifesto' and to place it within the framework of the needs of our time. Regardless of the ideology of each one, reading the 'Manifesto' allows us to converse with our history and with our present, examine the contradictions of our society and, in addition, enjoy an energetic, fluid and contagious prose. It's not little.
