Synopsis

The Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and translated into English by Samuel Moore in 1888 under Engels’ supervision, is one of the most influential political texts in modern history. Originally published in 1848, this concise manifesto lays out the principles of communism, the theory of historical materialism, and the role of class struggle as the driving force of history. Marx and Engels call for the working class to unite against capitalist oppression and envision a future society free from class divisions. Samuel Moore’s translation, authorized and edited by Engels himself, has become the standard English version, preserving the clarity and force of the original German text.

About Karl Marx

Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German philosopher and political theorist whose ideas made major contributions to the development of communism and socialism. Born in Trier in the Kingdom of Prussia (present-day Germany), Marx attended the University of Bonn and the University of Berlin. While living in Paris, he met and became a close friend of Friedrich Engels, with whom he collaborated on a number of works, including The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848. His other notable writings include A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy and Das Kapital, in addition to many essays. Though largely ignored by scholars during his lifetime, Marx's theories gained rapid acceptance in the socialist movement after his death and had an incomparable influence on the political discourse and events of the twentieth century.
