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.

Paper-label pasted on to lower inner margin of front board. Very light wear to extremities Internally very fine and clean. 240 pp. <br/><br/><em>The exceedingly 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. The very words in most cases are Marx's own words and Capital is followed so closely that the first twenty-five chapters correspond in subject and treatment with the first twenty-five chapters of Capital. Chapter XXVI corresponds in the main with Chapter XXVI of Capital but also contains portions of chapter XXX. 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. Capital de Marx also had a Portuguese edition at this time or better two different editions both in 1912 but only in translation of the survey of Book I published in France by Gabriel Deville in 1883 Marx 1912a and Marx 1912b. This version omitted material dealt with in at least four chapters of the original text and was not particularly appreciated by Engels. It was a simplified text aimed at supporting the training of socialist militants and that made it possible for them to have access indirect to the work of Marx. The other summaries and anthologies of Capital which with a purpose similar to that of Deville circulated in Europe during this period or ignored in Portugal as was the case with Carlo Cafiero or were only occasionally mentioned as was the case with Paul Lafargue and Karl Kautsky in its French versions.

Housed in a nice full black cloth clamshell box with black leather title-label to spine with lettering in silver. Otherwise fine and clean. 8 9-43 3 640 pp. <br/><br/><em>The rare first complete Estonian translation of Karl Marx's 'Das Kapital'. 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

An envelope pasted on to front free end-paper containing Danish articles on Marx. Previous owner's name to title-pages. A fine and clean copy with both half-titles present "Socialistisk Bibliotek" Vol. IV-V. 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

To our best knowledge Bulgarian is the only language which have had two complete translation published at the same time. Georgi Bakalov published his translation from the German in his hometown Stara Zagora. The publisher was The Liberal Club which was a printshop rather than a proper publisher. He was also a member of Bulgarian Social Democratic Party as of 1891 and likely much similar to many of the early Bulgarian socialists was active in education and socalled 'uchitelsko delo' teachers' affairs.

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

With the article Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Germany on pp. 7–8. 12 p. <p><br /> The ultimate article of the series of Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Germany written by Engels and published under the byline of Marx.<br /> <p><p><br /> Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Germany was written after Charles Dana the managing editor of the powerful progressive Republican newspaper the New-York Daily Tribune approached Karl Marx early in 1851 with the idea that he should contribute topical and historical writings to the newspaper. Dana and Marx met first in Germany some three years before when Dana reported the American press about the revolutionary movements in Europe. <br /> <p><p><br /> Marx being engaged in economic research was unable to fulfill the commission thus he asked his friend and co-thinker Friedrich Engels on August 14 1851 to write "a series of articles about Germany from 1848 onwardsâ€. MECW p. 629 “Engels agreed and in the course of thirteen months he wrote 19 articles about the German revolution of 1848–49. … Engels used as the main source of reference a file of the Neue Rheinische Zeitung apart from some additional material given him by Marx whom he constantly consulted and who read every article before mailing it.†MECW p. 629 <br /> <p><p><br /> In these articles Engels examines the economic basis and social development of Germany at the time of the Revolution shows that the uprising was defeated because of the liberal bourgeoisie and concludes that bold and resolute action is essential for the victory of a revolution. MECW pp. xiv–xv His “work lays down basic principles of Marxist teaching on armed insurrection. Engels formulates for the first time the idea that »insurrection is an art quite as much as war«â€. MECW p. xv<br /> <p><p><br /> The series was printed in the Tribune between October 25 1851 and October 23 1852 over the signature of Karl Marx the paper's official London-based correspondent. <br /> <p><p><br /> Until the correspondence between Marx and Engels was published in 1913 Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Germany was regarded as Marx’s text. Its first separate edition was prepared by Eleanor Marx-Aveling Marx’s daughter in 1896 and in the same year a German translation was also published.

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.

A Czech translation was made in 1913 which due to similarities between the languages for a while made a Slovakian translation superfluous. Because of the dominance from the Soviet a need for a Slovak translation rose and a complete transition of all three volumes were published between 1955 and 1958. In the Czech lands and Slovakia the study of economics developed later than in the West European countries. An urgent need for economic study arose only in the 19th century when the disintegration of feudal relations and the development of capitalism were accompanied by a national revival. Marxist economic theory was somewhat slow to gain a following in the Czech lands and Slovakia. </em> hardcover
