Hamburg: Verlag von Otto Meissner, 1883-1885. Rare early printing of one of the most influential books ever published. Octavo, original cloth over pebbled leather boards, all edges speckled red.

One of the most important works of modern times, as well as one of the most influential, "Kapital" is an incisive critique of private property and the social relations it generates.

Title-page slightly rubbed. Occassional underlignings in text and margins. Pp. 145-146 reinforced in margin. Otherwise a fine copy. XII, (4), (1)-160 pp. Exceedingly rare first Russian translation of this groundbreaking work, in which Marx first presents his revolutionizing theories of capitalism. The present work was to a large extent for years overshadowed by ‘Das Kapital’, and despite being published 8 years earlier (The original being published in 1859, ‘Das Kapital’ in 1867), the present work was not being translated until ‘Das Kapital’ had made Marx a household name in socialist and revolutionary circles which makes the present translation comparatively early (the first English translation being from 1904).The Russian censorship cut Marx’ preface in this first translation - the full text didn’t come out… Read More
