Více o knize

Focusing on the pivotal influence of the French Revolution of 1789, this book explores how early Marxists, including Marx and Engels, utilized historical events to shape their theories and strategies. It argues that historiography is not merely ancillary to Marxism but a fundamental aspect of its development. By challenging traditional views of Marxism as a static theory, the work offers new insights into the connections between history, social classes, and political organization, making it essential for scholars of Marxism, labor movements, and revolutionary history.
