Socialism

The book highlights the widespread influence and translation of a key socialist work, originally arranged as a pamphlet at the request of Paul Lafargue in 1880. It emphasizes the collaborative effort in translating the text into multiple languages, including Polish, Spanish, and German, among others. Notably, it has been more frequently translated than other significant socialist writings, demonstrating its impact on socialist thought and its enduring relevance in various cultural contexts. The preface by Frederick Engels underscores its importance in the socialist movement.
