MANIFIESTO COMUNISTA, EL (8ª edición) (LETRAS NORDICAS)

First published in London in 1848 and written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels on behalf of the second congress of the Communist League, this manifesto is a lucid analysis of capitalist society in the 19th century. In it, the authors lay out the purpose and program of the League and describe the history of class struggles. Just as relevant today as when it was first written, this classic of Western thought has become the most widely read book after the Bible. The vivid illustrations in this edition highlight Marx and Engels's arguments and the plight of the working class.
