The Communist Manifesto (Penguin Classics) is an incisive and condensed documentation of the world-view propagated by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels during their explosive collaboration on both intellectual and political planes. Although it was Friedrich Engels who composed the first couple of drafts that laid the foundation to The Communist Manifesto, Engels credits the original thought and concept of the book to Marx.
