Marx and Engels - Heroes of the Exile

libcom — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 11:59:13 +0000

HEROES OF THE EXILE

KARL MARX and FREDERICK ENGELS

Written between May and June 1852. First published in 1930 by Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow in Vol. 5 of the Marx-Engels Archive. This edition was in Russian translation; the first edition of the German original had to wait for the German Werke Vol. 8, of 1960.

Not often one can use a word like hilarious with Karl and Fred (though Fred was usually a much more lively and rapid writer), but Heroes of the Exile can be very funny. Wasn't published in his lifetime, though he intended it to be... (that is, it wasn't an "unfinished work" in the sense the Economic and Philsophical Manuscripts were, say). Written in 1852.

Bruno Bauer and Early Christianity - Engels

libcom — Thu, 12 Jan 2006 12:07:24 +0000

published May 4-11, 1882 in Sozialdemokrat

In Berlin, on April 13, a man died who once played a role as a philosopher and a theologian, but was hardly heard of for years, only attracting the attention of the public from time to time as a "literary eccentric". Official theologians, including Renan, wrote him off and, therefore, maintained a silence of death about him. And yet he was worth more than them all and did more than all of them in a question which interests us Socialists, too: the question of the historical origin of Christianity.

The 1891 Introduction to The Civil War in France, written by Frederick Engels on the 20th Anniversary of the Paris Commune

I did not anticipate that I would be asked to prepare a new edition of the Address of the General Council of the International on The Civil War in France, and to write an introduction to it. Therefore I can only touch briefly here on the most important points.

The Origin of The Family, Private Property and the State

libcom — Fri, 05 Aug 2005 17:50:30 +0000

After Marx's death, in rumaging through Marx's manuscripts, Engels came upon Marx's precis of Ancient Society -- a book by progressive US scholar Lewis Henry Morgan and published in London 1877. The precis was written between 1880-81 and contained Marx's numerous remarks on Morgan as well as passages from other sources.

Principles of Communism

libcom — Fri, 05 Aug 2005 17:43:32 +0000

Principles of Communism was Engels' first draft of a declarative, defining document for the communist movement. It was written when Engels was 27, and just prior to the great Europe-wide revolutions of 1848-9. As such, the passionate certainty of youth, coupled with the expectant exuberance of the times, results in a piece bursting with confidence, if not, at times, naivete.

The Peasant War in Germany

libcom — Fri, 05 Aug 2005 12:56:05 +0000

The 1848 uprisings in Germany put Engels in mind of the last great peasant rebellions of of 1500s. As he would later write: "The parallel between the German Revolution of 1525 and that of 1848-49 was too obvious to be altogether ignored at that time."
