pp. 137. 8vo., measuring 6" x 8.5". Publisher's three-quarters red cloth over marbled boards, gilt lettering to the spine. Black-and-white captioned photograph frontispieces of Engels & Marx, accompanied with additional plates and facsimiles. Light bumping to spine ends, faint spot to the front board, contents without blemish. A most uncommon second printing of this Icelandic translation of the Communist Manifesto, as rendered from the German by the late Icelandic writer, translator, and historian Sverris Kristj�nsson. To be distinguished from the first edition which was translated by Stef�n P�tursson (Stefan Pjetursson) [1898-1987] & Einar Olgeirsson [1902-1993]. Unrecorded in OCLC, and KVK. Indeed, no records could be located amongst North American institutional holdings. We note three unique instances in Leitir (Icelandic National Library). Rare indeed. The Communist Manifesto was first published in 1848 and is one of the most influential political publications and certainly the most influential of the last 200 years. After the October Revolution in Russia in 1917, the address became a kind of testament of communist parties all over the world. The work was first published in Icelandic in 1924. This translation was made in 1949 and is now published with detailed explanations, an original introduction by the historian Sverris Kristj�nsson. "A specter now plays bright flames over Europe - the specter of communism." These initial words are etched in people's consciousness and are constantly quoted. It is claimed that the history of man is in fact the history of a continuous class struggle between oppressors and the oppressed, between exploiters and the exploited. The bourgeoisie builds its power on the magic devices of the industrial revolution with the business practices of the free market. Under such conditions, an epidemic of overproduction rages, plunging societies into one crisis after another. Suddenly there is famine and war, and the bourgeoisie knows no way to avert the ever-recurring scourge of the commercial crisis. The ideal of communism is a classless society based on the equality of all people. When the petty interests of all countries have united and overthrown the entire social order by force, it is possible to build a just and humane society. To this day, the theory remains controversial and will probably never disappear from the field of political debate. The Communist Manifesto is not only a work of political analysis, but also an inspired piece of propaganda, a book of momentous prophecy, and an indispensable reference work. This is obviously a work that everyone should familiarize themselves with. [Source: Boktoj�in�]. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 5931
