Book Description
Of all the works of Marx and Engels, this is probably the best for the beginner. Written in a very clear and easy style, it introduces the reader to the basic ideas of scientific socialism.– Maurice Cornforth
The present English edition of Engels’ Socialism: Utopian and Scientific is a reproduction of the edition published by the Foreign Languages Press, Peking in 1975. It follows the translation of the corresponding chapters in Anti-Dühring published by the FLP in 1976. The foreword to the French edition, written by Marx, and Engels’ preface to the fourth German edition have been specially translated by FLP. Engels’ preface to the first German edition is reprinted, with a few corrections in the English wording, from Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, International Publishers, New York, 1935. His special introduction to the English edition is reprinted from the pamphlet published by George and Unwin, London, 1892. Most of the editions that have been available in India include only Engels’ introduction to the English edition. We believe Marx’s foreword and two other prefaces by Engels will enrich the understanding of this classic text about scientific Socialism. The notes at the end are largely adapted from those in Marx and Engels, Werke, Dietz Verlag, Berlin, Vols. 19 and 22, and the edition of Anti-Dühring published by the FLP.
