A propos de cet article

8vo. xxxi, (i), 882 pp. Publisher's grey cloth, red lettered to the spine, top edge red, typographic dust jacket, not price clipped. Jacket marked and worn with losses, partially reinforced on the verso, the book itself very good. A reissue of the first rendering into English of volume I of Marx's seminal work from 1887. The first of what subsequently became a three volume work, 'Das Kapital',was originally published in Germany in 1867 with a second edition in 1872-73 (revised by Marx himself) and a third edition edited by Marx's long-term friend and collaborator Frederick Engels. An initial Russian translation was issued in 1872 and a French translation appeared in instalments between 1872 and 1875. Marx was unable to complete the remaining volumes of the work before his death in 1883 but Engels was able to collate and edit his manuscripts to oversee their publication in 1885 and 1894. Samuel Moore was well connected in British socialist circles, he also translated under Engels' editorship the first English version of the 'Manifesto of the Communist Party' in 1888. Moore was ably assisted by Edward Aveling, the partner of Eleanor Marx - the youngest daughter of the author, who was enlisted to check the quotations used in the work. This reissue benefits from the supplement outlined above as well as "[f]or the first time. a complete List of Authorities, based on that prepared by the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute of Moscow". The publisher's blurb to the front flap of the jacket proudly extols: "Here at last we have a satisfactory version at least of Volume I of Marx's Capital".
