4 parts in 3 volumes, 8° (210-215 x 132-142mm). (Vol. 1 title with small area of abrasion from stamp deletion repaired from verso and repaired in the inside margin, dedication leaf with large repair in the blank margin, the first few leaves repaired at inner margin, occasional spotting.) Contemporary, nearly uniform half roan over mottled boards (some joints and corners repaired, front free endpaper in vol. 1 renewed, some wear). Provenance: Antiquariat Koch, Berlin (label) -- Gianfranco Sanguinetti (bookplate).
FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE MODERN ERA. A COMPLETE SET. From the collection of Gianfranco Sanguinetti, author and co-founder of the Italian section of Situationist International, the revolutionary group deeply rooted in Marxism. 'The history of the twentieth century is Marx's legacy. Stalin, Mao, Che, Castro -- the icons and monsters of the modern age have all presented themselves as his heirs. Whether he would recognize them as such is quite another matter... Within one hundred years of his death half the world's population was ruled by governments that professed Marxism to be their guiding faith. His ideas have transformed the study of economics, history, geography, sociology and literature' (Wheen). Marx's great polemic was the summation of his quarter of a century of economic studies, mostly at the British Museum. Only the first volume was published in Marx's lifetime; for its completion Marx was indebted to his friend and supporter Friedrich Engels, who edited volumes 2 and 3 from his manuscripts. Sanguinetti has pencilled an appreciation on the dedication leaf, comparing the work to Machiavelli's The Prince. Printing and the Mind of Man 359; Rubel 633, 635, 636; Wheen, Karl Marx, p.1. (3)
