"A lucid, free-flowing summary of the ideas of Marx as well as keen analysis of the different interpretations of Marxism."--Library Journal Here is an introduction to all of Karl Marx’s titanic achievements--and their repercussions.

He also offers a review of the growth and nature of Marx’s reputation as well as a dramatic account of Marx’s life. "A short, well written and (unlike some of the Master’s own work) totally intelligible survey."--The Times (London) "[McLellan] expounds the field of Marx’s influence with a clarity only matched by its brevity... an impressive essay."--The Guardian

Karl Marx And Friedrich Engels - The Communist Manifesto

Friedrich Engels

The Condition of the Working Class in England is the best known work of Engels, and still in many ways the best study of the working class in Victorian England. What Cobbett had done for agricultural poverty in his Rural Rides, Engels did - and more - in this work on the plight of industrial workers in England in the 1840s.

His Life and Thought

In the century following his death, Marx became the dominant intellectual force in the world. The Russian and Chinese (and many other) revolutions referred back to Marx. His influence can be found in every area of the human and social sciences from literary criticism to world economics. Reviled by some, revered by others, his ghost continues to haunt our world. In a recent BBC poll, Marx was declared Britain's favourite philosopher.

A Reader

Political Christianity

Simone Weil's short life was as extraordinary as her writings. Born in 1909, she was a brilliant philosophy student in the Paris of the 1920s and colleague of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. She fought on the anarchist side in the Spanish Civil War and died, at the age of only thirty-four, while serving with de Gaulle and the Free French in London. This life of intense activity was united with a profoundly religious outlook on life. Many consider her the best spiritual writer of our century and a true saint for modern times. Simone Weil published almost nothing during her lifetime. The publication of her complete works is only now beginning in France. They reveal a mind of amazing lucidity and depth. This biography draws on hitherto unpublished material to explain her thought in the context of her life. Its comprehensive coverage at last makes available to the public the most intriguing personality of our age.
