Book De*ion "A spectre is hauntingEurope - the spectre of Communism." So begins one of history's mostimportant documents, a work of such magnitude that it has foreverchanged not only the scope of world politics, but indeed the courseof human civilization. The Communist Manifesto was written inFriedrich Engels's clear, striking prose and declared theearth-shaking ideas of Karl Marx. Upon publication in 1848, itquickly became the credo of the poor and oppressed who longed for asociety "in which the free development of each is the condition forthe free development of all." The Communist Manifesto contains the seeds of Marx's morecomprehensive philosophy, which continues to inspire influentialeconomic, political, social, and literary theories. But theManifesto is most valuable as an historical document, one that ledto the greatest political upheaveals of the nineteenth andtwentieth centuries and to the establishment of the Communistgovernments that until recently ruled half the globe. This Bantam Classic edi

With an Introduction by Rosemary O'Day. London Labour and theLondon Poor is a masterpiece of personal inquiry and socialobservation. It is the classic account of life below the margins inthe greatest Metropolis in the world and a compelling portrait ofthe habits, tastes, amusements, appearance, speech, humour,earnings and opinions of the labouring poor at the time of theGreat Exhibition. In scope, depth and detail it remains unrivalled.Mayhew takes us into the abyss, into a world without fixedemployment where skills are declining and insecurity mounting, aworld of criminality, pauperism and vice, of unorthodox personalrelations and fluid families, a world from which regularity isabsent and prosperity has departed. Making sense of thisenvironment required curiosity, imagination and a novelist s eyefor detail, and Henry Mayhew poss????essed all three. No previouswriter had succeeded in presenting the poor through their ownstories and in their own words, and in this undertaking Mayhewrivals his contemporary Dic

In 1848, two young men published what would become one of the defining documents of modern history, The Communist Manifesto. It rapidly realigned political faultlines all over the world and its aftershock resonates to this day. In the many years since its publication, no other social program has inspired such divisive and violent debate. Ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world s first regime to adopt the Manifesto s tenets, historians have debated its intent and its impact. In the current era of market democracy in Russia and Eastern Europe, nationalism on every continent, and an ever tightening global economy, does the specter of Communism still haunt the world? Were the seeds of Communism s ultimate destruction already planted in 1848? Is there anything to be learned from Marx s envisioned uia? 《共产党宣言》，是马克思和恩格斯为共产主义者同盟（Communist League）起草的纲领，在这个纲领性文献中，阐述了矛盾对人类历史的影
