1872017495Paris: Lachatre 1872-75. Un volume 185x29 cm di 351-1 pagine. Senza la seconda delle due pagine di titolo; il volume si presenta dunque così: pagina di titolo con illustrazione raffigurante la Repubblica francese con nome e indirizzo dell'editore e le indicazioni 1ere livraison e Prix de la livraison: dix centimes; ritratto di Marx; facsimile della lettera di M. a Lachatre; risposta di Lachatre a Marx. A pag. 9 comincia la prefazione e a pag. 13 il testo del Capitale. Poche fioriture o ingialliture sparse. Legatura in mezza pelle coeva con usure; qualche usura anche ai piatti con carta marmorizzata angoli acciaccati. Sorprendente la provenienza del volume: sulla pagina di titolo infatti timbretto della Biblioteca del Grand Seminaire de Perigueux !. Prima tiratura della prima edizione della traduzione francese del Capitale apparsa in fascicoli tra l'agosto del 1872 e il novembre 1875. Famosa traduzione curata dallo stesso Marx che ne sottolineava il valore scientifico indipendente dall'originale consigliandola anche ai lettori familiari della lingua tedesca. Opera diventata rara a causa anche della pubblicazione in fascicoli in un arco di tempo assai lungo tre anni e degli ostacoli frapposti dall'autorità alla sua diffusione. Una seconda edizione che riprese la stessa traduzione e in gran parte gli stessi piombi venne pubblicata poi nel 1885 sotto l'indicazione "Librairie du Progres". La mancanza della seconda pagina di titolo con la raffigurazione del Pantheon di Roma si riscontra anche in altri esemplari e ciò ha fatto supporre che possa essere una caratteristica delle copie costituite dalla raccolta dei singoli fascicoli che si presentavano appunto con una copertina cartacea che i legatori poi eliminavano come quelle delle altre livraisons. Vicende dell'edizione: Dopo varie ricerche e contatti venne contattato Joseph Roy a Bordeaux traduttore di libri di Feuerbach. Ci lavorò dal febbraio 72 alla fine del 73. Marx si tenne in contatto ma non era molto contento la traduzione era troppo letterale si incontrarono una sola volta e Roy non piacque a Marx. Come editore fu contattato Maurice Lachatre 1814-1900 rifugiato in Spagna dopo la Comune che accettò stimando la spesa in 4000 franchi di cui metà dovevano venire da Marx li pagò Paul Lafargue e il 15 febbraio 1872 venne firmato il contratto. Frequenti contatti dell'editore con Marx al quale chiese di poter pubbicare uno scambio di lettere in facsimile e il ritratto. Nessuna pubblicità al libro per evitare la censura. La prima serie di 5 fascicoli 40pp uscì il 17 settembre 1873 e vendette in un mese 576 copie. Le serie 2 3 4 5 e 6 fascicoli da 6 a 30 uscirono nel 1873. Altre due serie 7 e 8 solo nel 1875. L'ultima serie la 9 era in preparazione quando Lachatre perse i diritti legali sulla sua casa editrice che furono passati a un certo Quest un reazionario che accettò di stamparla solo per evitare problemi legali coll'autore. Uscì alla fine di novembre del 1875. Quest aveva ridotto la tiratura degli ultimi fascicoli. Di quanto Non si sa. Poi Oriol che aveva preso di fatto il posto di Lachatre decise di ristampare il Capitale avendo a disposizione le copie invendute dei primi fascicoli: ne ristampò gli ultimi venne modificata la sequenza di inizio abolite le lettere e sostituito il nome dell'Editore con Librairie du Progrés. La ristampa ebbe circa 5000 copie di tiratura e fu messa in circolazione nel 1885. La struttura e il testo dell'edizione francese sono diversi da quelli delle edizioni tedesche ma Marx considerò avere quella francese un valore a se stante e la consigliò per i traduttori in altre lingue.

1883104806Hamburg: Verlag von Otto Meissner 1883-1885. Rare early printing of one of the most influential books ever published. Octavo original cloth over pebbled leather boards all edges speckled red. In very good condition with ownership stamps tape gutter repairs rebacked. One of the most important works of modern times as well as one of the most influential "Kapital" is an incisive critique of private property and the social relations it generates. Living in exile in England where this work was largely written Marx drew on a wide-ranging knowledge of its society to support his analysis and generate fresh insights. Arguing that capitalism would create an ever-increasing division in wealth and welfare he predicted its abolition and replacement by a system with common ownership of the means of production. "Capital" rapidly acquired readership among the leaders of social democratic parties particularly in Russia and Germany and ultimately throughout the world to become a work described by Marx's friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels as 'the Bible of the Working Class'.

1896187367London: Swan Sonnenschein & Co. 1896. The exploitation of Engels's labour First edition in book form of 19 articles first published in the New York Tribune in 1851-2 on Prussia's response to the revolution of 1848. Marx had been in Prussia in 1848 where he established a revolutionary newspaper and attempted to arrange armed resistance to the monarchy. He was banished in 1849 whereafter he made his way to London. The New York Tribune was among the more sympathetic mainstream outlets with a particular interest in the Utopian Socialist systems of Charles Fourier. Although published exclusively under Marx's byline many of these articles were written by Engels whose grasp of English far exceeded Marx's at this point. This edition was edited by Marx's daughter Eleanor 1855-1898. Octavo. Original red cloth spine ruled lettered and with publisher's device in gilt front board ruled lettered and decorated in black light yellow coated endpapers. Contemporary lithographic bookplate.

Sous cette forme l'ouvrage sera plus accessible à la classe ouvrière et pour moi cette considération l'emporte sur toute autre" "I congratulate you on your idea to publish the translation of 'Das Kapital' as a periodical. In this format the work should be more accessible to the working class and to me this is more important than all else" our translation. Maurice Lachatre 1814-1900 was a Parisian radical bookseller publisher and collaborator of Félix Pyat's with whom Marx butted heads over the growth of the International Working Men's Association in France. Lachatre's projected publication of the anarchist newspaper "La Commune" nearly cost him his life after the fall of the Paris Commune when his bookshop was attacked with murderous intent by the Versaillaise army see "The Publisher's Weekly" Vol. 19 1881 pp. 50-1.

1899123720Rome: Luigi Mongini 1899-1902. Marx in Italian First edition a bound volume of 12 Italian translations of works by Marx issued by Luigi Mongini in parts each work separately paginated but continuously signed. "1899 would mark a further qualitative leap in the publication of Marx and Engels's texts in Italy reaching a particular peak in the years between 1899 and 1902. This was the most important attempt thus far to provide socialism and Italian culture with the greater part of the works by Marx and Engels that were then available. The publication in instalments of Marx Engels and Lassalle's Works later appearing as a collection thanks to the collaboration of important ancient historian Ettore Ciccotti and socialist publisher Luigi Mongini would doubtless represent 'Italian culture's only true and substantial approach to Marx. until after the Second World War'" Favilli pp. 213-4.

1894124940Saint Petersburg: Ministerstvo Vnutrennikh Del 1894. Marx's Kapital finally banned from Russian public libraries Extremely rare example of a Russian index librorum for public libraries recording the first - and rather late - attempt to censor the works of Marx listing the first two volumes of Das Kapital being the first edition of volume one in Russian 1872 and the first edition of volume two 1885. Scarce no other examples traced on WorldCat or KVK. "By an odd quirk of history the first foreign translation of Das Kapital to appear was the Russian which Petersburgers found in their bookshops early in April 1872. Giving his imprimatur the censor one Skuratov had written 'few people in Russia will read it and still fewer will understand it.' He was wrong; the edition of three thousand sold out quickly; and in 1880 Marx was writing to his friend F. A. Sorge that 'our success is still greater in Russia where Kapital is read and appreciated more than anywhere else'" PMM. As the worker's movement gained momentum it was decided to censor Kapital. This pamphlet based on a resolution dated 1 January 1894 selects works for removal and destruction from public libraries and reading rooms and was intended strictly for internal use; a printed note forbids further publications or other disclosure of any part of it. Among other famous works affected by this censor's ban are Tolstoy's Kreutzer Sonata in all editions translations of various works by Herbert Spencer John Stuart Mill Emile Zola and works on socialism such as The Eight Hours Day by Sidney Webb and Harold Cox. Also included was a translation of James Bryce The American Commonwealth. Octavo 242 x 168 mm. Original buff wrappers printed in black 16 pp. sewn. Previous ownership stamp of A. Martynov to title page in purple ink. Wrappers creased with some marks three small closed tears to extremities contents toned else a fresh copy of a fragile publication.
