1.0 out of 5 stars Almost unreadable translation, September 26, 2007

By	eireann (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This translation of Marx's _18th Brumaire_ is practically unreadable. Not only is the prose confusing, even nonsensical, but there are grammatical and spelling errors throughout. The translation is from 1897, and the book is inexpensive because this translation is in the public domain. Be aware that several other publishers are printing this translation with fancy covers but the interior contents unaltered. There is another translation that is much more readable; I'm not sure of the publisher, but it has an orange cover with white letters and an image of Daumier's sculpture "Ratapoil".
