Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels Collected editions

Karl Marx (1818 – 1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820 – 1895) were political theorists and revolutionaries whose pamphlet The Communist Manifesto became one of the most influential political documents of all time. Written in 1848 during a wave of revolutionary fervor across Europe, it called for the working class to unite and overthrow capitalist systems.

Marx’s economic theories and Engels’s organizational skills combined to shape the international socialist movement. Their work has inspired political revolutions, social reforms, and vigorous debate for more than a century.

Together, Marx and Engels articulated a vision of class struggle and historical change that continues to influence political discourse worldwide.
