Product Description
by Karl Marx (Author)
The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte is a political treatise written by Karl Marx, which analyzes the events that led to the coup d'�����tat in France in 1851, where Louis-Napol�����on Bonaparte seized power and established himself as the Emperor of France. The book explores the historical context of the coup, including the economic, social, and political factors that contributed to it. Marx also examines the role of class struggle, ideology, and the state in the events leading up to the coup. The book is considered a classic work of political theory and has influenced many subsequent Marxist and socialist thinkers. It provides a critical analysis of the rise of authoritarian and dictatorial regimes, and the importance of understanding the role of class struggle in political power struggles.In the first French revolution, upon the reign of the Constitutionalists succeeds that of the Girondins; and upon the reign of the Girondins follows that of the Jacobins. Each of these parties in succession rests upon its more advanced element. So soon as it has carried the revolution far enough not to be able to keep pace with, much less march ahead of it, it is shoved aside by its more daring allies, who stand behind it, and it is sent to the guillotine. Thus the revolution moves along an upward line.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
