Internally fine and clean. A fine and well preserved copy of an otherwise fragile book. 240 pp. <br/><br/><em>The scarce first Portuguese edition of the most important abridged version of Marx's Capital ever to have appeared published fifty-six years before the first full Portuguese but published in Brazil translation and whole sixy-two years before the first full translation published in Portugal. Curiously two translations of the present work were made 1912 but the present translation seems to have priority see Bastien "Readings and Translations of Karl Marx in Portugal". After the 1933 rise of Salazar's dictatorial Estado Novo regime suppression of the relatively newly founded Communist party grew. Members were arrested tortured and executed and many were sent to the Tarrafal concentration camp in the Cape Verde Islands. Communist literature suffered an equally repressive fate hence the rarity of the present work. Marxism and especially Marxist writing caught on comparatively late in Portugal: "As for the Socialist Party - supposed to be the main expression of Marxism - it revealed itself unable to stimulate effective theoretical and doctrinal efforts. Its existence was an example of ambiguity and inconsequence. Its political programme went on mixing Marxian elements associationist tradition and positivist thinking. Its strategy balanced continuously between an alliance with republican politicians and the maintenance of political autonomy. Its tatics balanced between electoral abstencionism and an involvement in election processes that never led it to a relevant position in parliament. Even its international relations showed a lasting ambiguity: it had been created according to the instructions of the Marxist majority at the Hague Congress when most of its members tended to support political abstencionism. When the formation of the Second lnternacional was taking place in Paris in 1889 Portuguese socialists tried to join the Marxist congress after being present at the possibilist congress. In 1920 they decided to join the Third lnternacional what was not accomplished at the same time that an internal reformist turn was taking place." Bastien "Readings and Translations of Karl Marx in Portugal". "The epitome here translated was published in Paris in 1883 by Gabriel Deville possibly the most brilliant writer among the French Marxians. It is the most successful attempt yet made to popularize Marx's scientific economics. It is by no means free from difficulties for the subject is essentially a complex and difficult subject but there are no difficulties that reasonable attention and patience will not enable the average reader to overcome. There is no attempt at originality.

In the 1890ies numerous attempts at a Hebrew translation were made but not until Zevi Wislavsky's 1947-translation the Hebrew speaking world were able to read the full volume 1 of 'Das Kapital'.Marx himself being of Jewish descent was a proponent of antisemic idea and he argued that the modern commercialized world is the triumph of Judaism a pseudo-religion whose god is money. Even in Das Kapital he lets his anti-Semitism flourish: "The capitalist knows that all merchandise no matter how ruinous it may seem or how bad it might smell is by faith and in truth money internally circumcised Jews". "He denigrated the Polish Jewish refugees in Germany as "the filthiest of all races" and in the Neue Rheinische Zeitung edited by himself he accused the Jews of Poland of setting churches ablaze burning villages and beating down defenseless Poles when these were in fact the very things Polish Jews suffered at the hands of Christians."

In proportion as large-scale industry expands in a given country the demand grows among the workers of that country for enlightenment regarding their position as the working class in relation to the possessing classes the socialist movement spreads among them and the demand for the Manifesto increases. Thus not only the state of the labor movement but also the degree of development of large-scale industry can be measured with fair accuracy in every country by the number of copies of the Manifesto circulated in the language of that country.</i></p><p><i>Accordingly the new Polish edition indicates a decided progress of Polish industry. And there can be no doubt whatever that this progress since the previous edition published ten years ago has actually taken place. Russian Poland has become the big industrial region of the Russian Empire. The disadvantages — for the Polish manufacturers and the Russian government — are manifest in the rapid spread of socialist ideas among the Polish workers and in the growing demand for the Manifesto.</i></p><p><i>But the rapid development of Polish industry outstripping that of Russia is in its turn a new proof of the inexhaustible vitality of the Polish people and a new guarantee of its impending national restoration. And the restoration of an independent and strong Poland is a matter which concerns not only the Poles but all of us. A sincere international collaboration of the European nations is possible only if each of these nations is fully autonomous in its own house. It can be gained only by the young Polish proletariat and in its hands it is secure.

The comparatively late translation was due to the fact that German was Estonia’s official language and the language of grammar school and higher education prior to 1918/1920. It was replaced by Russian starting in the 1890s. Translator Nigol Andresen 1899-1985 worked as a teatcher at various Estonian High Schools from 1918 to 1932. In 1932 he was dismissed for political reasons because of his membership in the Estonian Social Democratic Labor Part. In the same year he was elected to the Estonian Parliament to which he formally belonged until 1937. In 1934 Andresen was expelled because of his contacts with the Communist Party from the Social Democratic Labor Party. He was then union secretary and became after the Sovietization in 1940 a proponent of the new communist system. In a short period under the Vares Cabinet he functioned as foreign minister.At the outbreak of the German-Soviet War in 1941 he went to the Soviet Union and lived in Moscow. After returning to Estonia he was from 1946 to 1949 Member of the Supreme Soviet of the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic. However at the infamous eighth plenum of the Estonian Communist Party of March 1950 he fell out of favor and was imprisoned. Only in 1955 he was released from custody. </em> hardcover

Vol 1: 2 473 1; Vol 2: VII; 1; 4 363 1 pp. <br/><br/><em>First edition of the first Danish translation of "Das Kapital". The translation is remarkable in several respects - the Danish Social-democratic party was one of the first labour organizations in the world to publish the two volumes of "The Capital" the translation of the first volume preceded both the English and the Italian and the translation of the second volume is the second in the world to appear only preceded by the Russian from 1885 - furthermore these two translations were the only two to appear of volume two until after Engels' death in 1895. After having been in a serious crisis at the end of the 1870'ies the labour movement in Denmark turned things around in the 1880'ies primarily with the aid of Marx. Marx' theories and his connection between theoretical and practical politics became the foundation for the Social Democrats. In 1884 the Danish Social Democratic Party got its two first members of parliament elected and many workers wished to become politically active. Also in Denmark the class struggle had properly begun.As Marx was the foundation for the beginning success of the Social Democrats the Party decided that it would translate and publish all the most important works by Marx - of course most importantly "The Capital". This translation was to become "a new and powerful weapon for the Danish Labour Party in the agitation for the socialist principles". The translation of "The Capital" was made by the linguist and journalist Hans Vilhelm Lund 1840-1893 who worked at the paper Social-Demokraten in the 1880'ies and 90'ies. The translation is famed for being extremely true to the original and virtually flawless. In order to reach as wide a relevant audience as possible the price was kept as low as it could be. It still constituted a full day's wages for a skilled worker namely 2 kroner - still about 1/7 of the German edition. In spite of all the efforts to distribute the translation it did not become a bestseller and in 1911 the remainders were issued with a new title-page in 1911. PMM 359 - first edition. </em> hardcover

It is necessary to find equivalents for new terms or rather the terms which are new for us. The trouble arose not just from finding Turkish equivalents in line with the new course our language has taken it also concerns the difficulty in finding any equivalent. Some of these words and terms were used for the first time while I have replaced some others with alternative words and terms though they have been in use for the past five or ten years. I almost never go out. On those rare occasions when I leave home and go out I can find almost nobody whom I can consult and discuss my translation. Rifat 1933 7†Rifat concludes his lengthy preface with a humble almost apologetic note stating that he would be more than willing to correct any mistakes in his translation that could potentially cause his readers difficulty and that he had consulted a whole list of experts mainly economists about the equivalents of certain terms and the general content of the translation. The preface actually ends with a list of the names of the experts to whom Rifat had sent a copy of his translation†Konca The Turkish Retranslations of Marx’s Das Kapital as a Site of Intellectual and Ideological Struggle Rifat’s translation immediately triggered a series of articles and critiques in various journals and papers upon its publication. </em> hardcover

The last three chapters-XXVII XXVIII and XXIX-correspond to the last three chapters-XXXI XXXII and XXXIII-of Capital." ROBERT RIVES LA MONTE Intruductory Note to the 1899 English translation. “He also refers to how he has had to deal with the challenges arising from the translation of certain terms and/or the absence of any expert on the field whom he could consult: While doing this short translation I have encountered many difficulties. It is necessary to find equivalents for new terms or rather the terms which are new for us. The trouble arose not just from finding Turkish equivalents in line with the new course our language has taken it also concerns the difficulty in finding any equivalent. Some of these words and terms were used for the first time while I have replaced some others with alternative words and terms though they have been in use for the past five or ten years. I almost never go out. On those rare occasions when I leave home and go out I can find almost nobody whom I can consult and discuss my translation. Rifat 1933 7†Rifat concludes his lengthy preface with a humble almost apologetic note stating that he would be more than willing to correct any mistakes in his translation that could potentially cause his readers difficulty and that he had consulted a whole list of experts mainly economists about the equivalents of certain terms and the general content of the translation. The preface actually ends with a list of the names of the experts to whom Rifat had sent a copy of his translation†Konca The Turkish Retranslations of Marx’s Das Kapital as a Site of Intellectual and Ideological Struggle Rifat’s translation immediately triggered a series of articles and critiques in various journals and papers upon its publication. </em> hardcover
18473297Bruxelles: Imprimerie de Deltombe 1847. First edition. In later wrappers. Paper tanned occasional foxing. Otherwise in fine condition. First edition. In later wrappers. 5 2-211 1 p. <p><br /> Rare printed proceedings of the first international congress of economists in Brussels featuring Karl Marx's attendance and his early engagement in public economic debates.<br /> <p><p><br /> This volume documents the proceedings of the first-ever international conference of economists held in Brussels from September 16 to 18 1847 under the auspices of the Association belge pour la Liberté commerciale. Directed by Charles Joseph Marie Ghislain de Brouckere the conference was a landmark event gathering leading economists lawyers and businessmen to debate issues of free trade and economic policy.<br /> <p><p><br /> A significant aspect of this congress is the participation of Karl Marx whose presence is recorded on the official list of participants "Marx homme de lettres et économiste à Bruxelles" p. 7. At the time Marx was living in Brussels and his involvement in the congress marked a crucial moment in his engagement with economic theory and the broader socialist movement. Although Marx was prevented from speaking his attendance along with other members of the Communist League such as Friedrich Engels was notable for their intent to challenge bourgeois economics and advocate for working-class interests.<br /> <p><p><br /> The congress became a site of contention between the bourgeois majority and the Communist group particularly after Georg Weerth's speech which sharply criticized the benefits of free trade as espoused by the free traders. Engels later provided a detailed report of these events in the Deutsche-Brüsseler-Zeitung highlighting the tensions and the exclusion of Marx's voice from the official proceedings.<br /> <p><p><br /> This book is a rare primary source for the study of 19th-century economic thought and a crucial document for understanding the early public activities of Karl Marx just months before the publication of the Communist Manifesto. It offers invaluable insights into the ideological battles that shaped modern economic and political thought.<br /> <p>. Imprimerie de Deltombe unknown
