Description
‘It was a sweet finish after the bitter pills of floggings and bullets with which these same governments, just at that time, dosed the German working-class risings’.
The Communist Manifesto is, perhaps surprisingly, a most engaging and accessible work, containing even the odd shaft of humour in this translation by Samuel Moore for the 1888 English edition. It is, of course, an essential introduction to the thoughts and theories of Karl Marx and his collaborator and editor Friedrich Engels and therefore to the development of communism.
This brief but iconoclastic work, essentially a pamphlet, covers the history of the bourgeoisie, aspects of ‘class struggle’ with descriptions and analyses of numerous workers’ parties and movements up to the 1840s. It predicts and elaborates upon the defeat of capitalism and communism’s ultimate global victory. Written over 150 years ago it pulsates with energy, insight and contemporary relevance, ending with the rallying cry, ‘Workers of the World Unite.’ Greg Wagland, a history graduate and enthusiast, brings a certain freshness and energy to his reading of this far from dusty tome. A word about the narrator: born in Oxford, England, Greg Wagland is a classically trained actor, who attended St. Andrews University and drama school. He has worked in television, radio and theatre appearing in productions with the likes of Richard E. Grant, Penelope Keith, Bill Pertwee, Matt Smith, Roger Allam, Liza Goddard, Michael Denison, Dulcie Gray and Lindsay Duncan. He has recorded over 50 audiobooks, a number of those for the well-respected Talking Book Service of the RNIB. Now for Magpie Audio he is putting together an eclectic collection of classic fiction and non-fiction works and is always happy to receive suggestions for new titles.

not what you'd expect
if you were hoping for a clear consice explanation of Communism then look elsewhere half the book is Karl Marx gripping about capitalism the other half is him gripping about other communist or socialist parties he doesn't like.
he gives a weak definition of his goals but doesn't really elaborate much on them you can learn more from listening to animal farm or the Gulag arcapelago.
book seems to have been written with a vocabulary specifically designed to be difficult for the average person to understand even experienced historians and people with an interest in politics will struggle to comprehend much of this book don't waste your time or money.

Important but Disturbing Book
Worth reading to gain perspective. The thesis paints a dim society where individuals creativity and freedom is wholly removed.
Narration is challenging to pay attention through.
Overall, very glad to have purchased the book but absolutely despise the message.
