"A spectre is haunting Europe - the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies..." A spectre toils silently in sun-baked fields. It shuffles through dusty village squares. It slaves amidst the grime and drudgery of factory floors. It picks through the garbage of shanty-town alleys. It floats over office-tower cubicles row upon row. Wherever capitalism has had its parade our spectre follows quietly. It settles amongst the alienated, the impoverished, the exploited. It bears witness to millions of silent screams. More and more, we glimpse that ghost. But why a graphic edition? Put simply, in order to reanimate the text. To make it available to a new audience. To help us better understand our innate yearning for the promise of a better tomorrow and to re-acquaint us with a political pamphlet that forged the ideological foundations for one of the most idealistic yet repressive eras of human history.

Wow.
That's my first impression of The Communist Manifesto (Illustrated) - Chapter One: Historical Materialism.
Visually stunning, this up-to-date version of Manifesto captures the energy of the 1888 English edition as Marx's words still fly off the page but now have expert illustrations that somehow capture current events without neglecting the past or losing the original's timeless character.
This edition splits up Manifesto into four parts and re-organizes it. It also leaves out what the editors feel are outdated parts of the original, shortening it without impacting the message. This is probably a good thing, as this volume is likely to be many peoples first exposure to Marx and Engels.
This volume, Chapter One, starts with a superb introduction by the Editor followed by what I feel is an artistic interpretation of the main point of the Introduction. This part covers about half of the pages and gives some background to Marx and the events of the last century or so without a word from the characters. This section is essential for 21st century readers with preconceived notions of Marx and Communism.
The actual Communist Manifesto section is true to the original with no wasted words and seems word for word if my memory serves.
Marx's words are as timeless as ever and fit right in with the depictions of modern events. The end leaves you wanting to move on to Chapter 2 instantly.
If you've never read Marx, start with The Communist Manifesto. This as-yet incomplete 2010 edition is a fantastic way to get started. The 1888 (NOT 1988) English edition is just as gripping but without the illustrations.
Love it or hate it, The Communist Manifesto is one of the most significant books of all time and a must-read for anyone with the slightest interest in Humanity or Politics.
Thank you for Chapters One and Two. Now let's see Three and Four!
