==Blurb==
Professor Feuer's wide-ranging selection from the works of Marx and Engels is drawn from books, essays, journalism and letters. He adds useful prefatory notes and he contributes a reflective introduction in which he discusses, in particular, Marx's historical materialism and the influence it has had in Europe and Russia, Africa and Asia during last century and this. Each generation, he says, sees a refutation of Marx: it sees also a revival of neo-Marxism - for, Marx not only, in Professor Feuer's words, 'shaped the historical movement of a century'; he also gave to that movement 'its most distinctive vision and language'.
