Communist Manifesto, The: 1888 Translated Edition (The Political Classic of Karl Marx And Friedrich Engels)

Experience one of history’s most influential political texts in its definitive English edition. This audiobook presents the authorized 1888 English translation of The Communist Manifesto, rendered by Samuel Moore and personally approved by Friedrich Engels. Originally published in 1848 during a time of revolutionary upheaval across Europe, The Communist Manifesto (Manifesto of the Communist Party) was written by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels for the Communist League. A cornerstone of modern political thought, this powerful work offers a compelling analysis of class struggle, economic systems, and the inevitable conflicts arising under capitalism. Rather than offering utopian speculation, Marx and Engels dissect the mechanisms of capitalist production and explain the material conditions that, they argue, will give rise to socialism and ultimately communism. With its famous declaration that “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles,” this manifesto has echoed through generations—shaping ideologies, inspiring movements, and fueling debates across the globe. Whether you're a student of history, politics, or philosophy—or simply curious about the roots of revolutionary theory—this essential classic continues to challenge, provoke, and inform.
