The Manifesto of the Communist Party of 1848, or simply The Communist Manifesto, is best described as a historic book: It has influenced and inspired millions of people all over the world over the years. Not only the communist movement can be split between before the Communist Manifesto and after the Communist Manifesto, but all the politics can be seen with the same division.

The Communist Manifesto is one of the most influential books in the West since the Bible - if not the most - and in the rest of the world just as much. To show the influence of this brief, deep book, this edition brings commentaries of many intellectuals and revolutionaries through history about the Communist Manifesto, Marx, and Engels - from Lenin to Luxemburg, from Che Guevara to George Orwell. The translation we decided to bring is the classic original translation of Samuel Moore, the only authorized translation of The Communist Manifesto which was commissioned, thoroughly verified, and supplied with footnotes by Friedrich Engels himself.
