Synopsis

Lenin wrote this book in 1917, while he was hiding from the Russian secret police. He did this because there was lettle awareness or thought between the state and revolution during the period of the Second International (1889-1914). This work by Lenin is important to communist thinking and the Marxist concept of the state which is clearly and consisely expressed in this book. All through this work Lenin cites and examines Marx and Engle's writings, to explain and support his own point of view. Without doubt this is a classic work and will give the reader important concepts in the theory of Marxist-Leninism. A Collector's Edition.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In July 1917, when the Provisional Government issued a warrant for his arrest, Lenin fled from Petrograd; later that year, the October Revolution swept him to supreme power. In the short intervening period he spent in Finland, he wrote his impassioned, never-completed masterwork The State and Revolution. This powerfully argued book offers both the rationale for the new regime and a wealth of insights into Leninist politics. It was here that Lenin justified his personal interpretation of Marxism, savaged his opponents and set out his trenchant views on class conflict, the lessons of earlier revolutions, the dismantling of the bourgeois state and the replacement of capitalism by the dictatorship of the proletariat. As both historical document and political statement, its importance can hardly be exaggerated.Translated and edited with an introduction by Robert Service
