Buchbeschreibung: Petersburg: N. P. Poliakov, 1872, 1872. Octavo (236 × 153 mm). Contemporary Russian black half calf, blue pebble-grain cloth sides, spine with double gilt rules. Housed in a black quarter morocco solander box made by The Chelsea Bindery. Joints rubbed, corners worn, two small pieces of stamp paper to half-title, an excellent copy. Russian ownership inscription dated 1898 to front free endpaper. First edition in Russian, the first foreign translation, of "the Bible of Marxism." This is the first translation to appear in any language, and the impact of it was greatest on the history, society, government, politics, culture, and psyche of that country. The publication of the first volume of Karl Marx's Das Kapital was the result of nearly 25 years of economic studies, mostly in the Reading Room of the British Museum. His biting critique of the capitalist system had developed from his previous publication of Zur Kritik der Politischen Oekonomie (1859). "Nobody before him had so clearly shown the role of the productive agencies in historical evolution; nobody so masterfully exhibited their determining influence on the form and idealogies of social organisms If he has been justly compared with Darwin, it is in these respects that he ranks with the great genius" (Ency. Brit.) "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). The printing of a second edition was forbidden in Russia and so in 1890 a New York publisher brought out an nearly identical reprint of the first edition: that second edition is distinguished from the first in that the misplaced comma opposite "p. 73" in the table of contents is replaced by a full stop; and the "e" at the end of l. 40, p. 65, is replaced by a "c".

Buchbeschreibung: Paris: Maurice Lachatre et Cie., []., 1875. 351,[1]pp. Quarto. Recent cloth, gilt label. Portrait. Pictorial title- page. Alternate pictorial title from first wrapper of parts issue. Facsimile letter. Text in double columns. Modest foxing early and late, some hand smudges and a few marginal nicks to first two leaves, but generally a very good copy. First edition in book form of the first translation into French of the first volume of DAS KAPITAL, first issued in parts from 1872-75. The translation was undertaken by M.J. Roy, with the intimate collaboration of Marx himself, who acknowledges the importance of his own substantive revisions in his postscript to the text (dated London 28 April 1875), emphasizing the independence of this text from that of the first edition. This printing includes rather ornate engraved head and tail pieces (somewhat out of character with the text itself), earning it the curious sobriquet of the "first illustrated edition." This copy has the following features which are generally taken to indicate the first issue: a) "1er livraison" and "Prix de la livraison: dix centimes" at the lower corners of the engraved title; b) engravings of buildings, a city square and obelisk on main title; c) ornate imprint of "typographie Lahure" on verso of title; and d) the text of a letter from Maurice Lachatre to Marx on the verso of the facsimile of Marx's letter to him. These features were either altered or omitted from the second "issue" of ca. 1878 issued under the imprint of the LIBRAIRIE DU PROGRESS. When the first translation into English was undertaken ten years later, Moore and Aveling, under Engels's editorial direction, incorporated the important revisions published first in this edition into their text.

Second edition of the most important volume of this revolutionary three-volume work and the only volume to be completed by Marx in his lifetime and the only part mentioned in Printing and the Mind of Man (the 1st edition).

Karl Marx’s Capital can be read as a work of economics, sociology and history. He addresses a myriad of topics, but is most generally trying to present a systematic account of the nature, development, and future of the capitalist system. There is a strong economic focus to this work, and Marx addresses the nature of commodities, wages and the worker-capitalist relationship, among other things. Much of this work tries to show the ways in which workers are exploited by the capitalist mode of production. He also provides a history of past exploitations. Marx argues that the capitalist system is ultimately unstable, because it cannot endlessly sustain profits. Thus, it provides a more technical background to some of his more generally accessible works, like The Communist Manifesto. Einaudi. Goldsmiths'. Kress.

Buchbeschreibung: 8vo, pp. xii, 96; text printed in Cyrillic type; mild uniform browning due to paper stock, discreet library stamps and ink shelf-marks on verso of the title-page and p. 17, initial two leaves partly detached at gutter, still holding, a few marginal paper-flaws resulting in minute holes far from text, except for the loss of one or two letters (recoverable) in p. 7; a very good copy, uncut in the original printed wrappers, spine worn but holding, small chip to the lower wrapper, preserved in glassine. First edition in Russian, first separate edition, and the first edition to include Lenin’s substantial preface, rare. Marx’s letters to Ludwig Kugelmann, the fervent disciple who corresponded with Marx for twelve years between 1862 and 1874, and in whose home in Hanover Marx found much-valued hospitality for a month in 1867 while overseeing the printing of volume 1 of Das Kapital. Indeed, the majority of Marx’s letters to Ludwig Kugelmann dates from the mid- and late sixties, and is imbued with the thrill, anxieties and reflections connected with the publication and especially the reception of his masterpiece.First published in the Neue Zeit between 1901 and 1902, in an abridged form which dispensed only of the most personal or mundane paragraphs while preserving all that concerned Marx’s work and thought, the letters appeared for the first time separately in this authoritative publication edited and prefaced by Lenin. The letters circulated in the abridged form until a full edition in Russian appeared in 1928.Lenin’s important preface to this Russian edition terms the letters to Kugelmann a ‘lesson in a policy worthy of the proletariat’, and offers a cogent presentation of their content, importance, and purpose as a separate publication: ‘Our purpose in issuing as a separate pamphlet the full collection of Marx’s letters to Kugelmann published in the German Social-Democratic weekly, Neue Zeit, is to acquaint the Russian public more closely with Marx and Marxism. As was to be expected, a good deal of space in Marx’s correspondence is devoted to personal matters. . for the general public, and for the Russian working class in particular, those passages in the letters which contain theoretical and political material are infinitely more important. . It is particularly instructive for us to make a careful study of this material, which reveals Marx as a man who responded directly to all questions of the labour movement and world politics. . Russia is experiencing a "great upheaval" at this very moment. In the present Russian revolution the Social-Democrat should more and more frequently pattern his policy after that of Marx in the comparatively stormy sixties.‘.Of outstanding interest as a contribution to a fuller and more profound understanding of Marxism is the letter of July 11, 1868 (p. 42, et seq.). In the form of a polemic against the vulgar economists, Marx in this letter very clearly expounds his conception of what is called the "labour" theory of value. Those very objections to Marx’s theory of value which naturally arise in the minds of the least trained readers of Capital and for this reason are most eagerly seized upon by the common or garden representatives of "professorial" bourgeois "science", are here analysed by Marx briefly, simply, and with remarkable lucidity. Marx here shows the road he took and the road to be taken towards elucidation of the law of value. He teaches us his method, using the most common objections as illustrations. . It is only to be hoped that everyone who begins to study Marx and read Capital will read and re-read this letter when studying the first and most difficult chapters of that book. ‘Other passages in the letters that are very interesting from the theoretical standpoint are those in which Marx passes judgement on various writers. When you read these opinions of Marx - vividly written, full of passion and revealing a profound interest in all the great ideological trends and in an analysis of. Buchnummer des Verkäufers H2959

Buchbeschreibung: London & Hamburg: A. Darson/Otto Meissner, ., 1873. [2],137pp. 12mo. Slightly later three quarter morocco. Joints worn, erasure from free binder's endsheet, otherwise a very good copy. First edition of this report on the proceedings of the 1872 Hague Congress of the First International, issued under the auspices of, and signed collectively by, a committee composed of Marx, Engels, Dupont, Frankel, Le Mossu and Serraillier, but acknowledged to be Marx, Engels and Lafargue's work. The Hague Congress was the occasion of the final dissolution of the International. Torn by interfactional strife, notably between the Marxists and the Bakuninists, by the disaffection of the British Trade Unionists, and by the objections stemming from Marx's publication of his tract on the Paris Commune, the IMWA split, the Bakuninists founding their own Anarchist International and the vestiges of the Marxists moving to New York. The First International was Marx's sole venture into an attempt at organizing a practical manifestation of his economic and political aims, and its dissolution marked the end of a unified organization of international workers for the remainder of the 19th century.
