El manifiesto comunista

The revolutionary pamphlet written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels is still surprisingly valid today. Of course, historical evolution has made some of its parts obsolete - although they have not lost their rhetorical force - but as a critique of capitalism it is still a fundamental work, without whose reading it is difficult to understand the present. In this new edition and translation we have endeavored to offer a text that can be read today as one of the target readers of the Marx and Engels diatribe would have done, that is, a text addressed above all to ordinary people, understandable to all . In addition, we have accompanied it with a series of contemporary comments that help to understand the current value of the "Manifesto" and to place it within the framework of the needs of our time. Regardless of the ideology of each one, reading the "Manifesto" allows us to converse with our history and with our present, examine the contradictions in our society and, furthermore, enjoy an energetic, fluid and contagious prose. It's not little.
