Selected Works in One Volume

These selections from the voluminous writings of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels present the essentials of their thinking, designed to provide in a single volume a useful source book for the student of Marxism. The shorter classic works are given in full, including those most often used in the study of Marxism. Germinal selections have been made from the larger works and from the authors' correspondence. The volume is introduced with three essays by V. I. Lenin on the significance of Marxism for the 20th century, and is supplied with extensive explanatory notes and name and subject indexes.
