A handsome hardback edition of Karl Marx''s The Communist Manifesto, presented with a gold-embossed cover design and full-colour illustrations.

First published as the 1848 revolutions erupted throughout Europe, this revolutionary political tract outlined a radical new political agenda that would lead to an equal and classless society. In one of the most powerful political pamphlets ever written, Marx and Engels predicted that Europe was on the verge of revolution. This book influenced the course of 20th-century history more than any other single work.

This edition features Friedrich Engel''s own translation and is illustrated throughout with full-colour images from the 19th century and Russian posters from the revolutionary era.
