Lot 79 | KARL MARX: Capital - A Critical Analysis Of Capitalist Production mit Widmung von Engels und Aveling
Estimate value
CHF 9 000 – 18 000
London 1887, 2 Bde, englisch, Erstausgabe
23 x 15 x 3 cm und 23 x 15 x 3,3 cm

Erste englische Ausgabe, erschienen vier Jahre nach dem Tod von Marx. Herausgegeben von Friedrich Engels, übersetzt von Samuel Moore und Edward Aveling, aufgrund der noch von Marx selber überwachten und erweiterten Fassung in Französisch, die seit 1872 in Lieferungen erschien. In deutscher Sprache war 1867 der erste Band des Kapitals erschienen - in Hamburg-, der einzige zu Lebzeiten Marx' in deutscher Sprache erschienen Teil. Die Teile II und III wurden von Engels postum ediert aufgrund des Marxschen Manuskripts. Der geplante 4. Teil konnte von Kautsky nur aufgrund der von Marx hinterlassenen Notizen herausgegeben werden.
Das vorliegende Exemplar der seltenen englischen Erstübersetzung gewinnt zusätzlich an Interesse wegen der auf dem Vorsatz befindlichen Widmung. Auf dem Vorsatz findet sich von der Hand des einen Übersetzers Aveling der Eintrag 'William Morris from .... Edward Aveling. March 1887'. Dazu gesellt sich der eigenhändige Namenszug von Engels (in die Widmung Avelings eingefügt,). Das Zusammentreffen dieser drei Namen darf als sehr aussergewöhnlich betrachtet werden. Engels war der Herausgeber der Marxschen Schriften, sein literarischer Erbe. Aveling war einer der Übersetzer von Marx (er hatte Marx jüngste Tochter Eleanor geheiratet). Morris ist der Begründer des Arts and Craft-Movement, einer der einflussreichsten Neuerer des Kunstgewerbes - der Textilkunst, der Möbelkunst, des Buchdrucks, etc.



KARL MARX: Capital - : A Critical Analysis Of Capitalist Production with handwritten dedication of Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) and Edvard Aveling (1849-1896)
London, 1887, 2 vol., english, first edition
23 x 15 x 3 cm und 23 x 15 x 3,3 cm

First English edition, published four years after Marx's death. Edited by Friedrich Engels, translated by Samuel Moore and Edward Aveling, based on the expanded version in French, which was still monitored and expanded by Marx himself and which has appeared in deliveries since 1872. The first volume of the Capital was published in German in 1867 - in Hamburg - the only part published in German during Marx's lifetime. Parts II and III were posthumously edited by Engels on the basis of Marx's manuscript. The planned 4th part could only be published by Kautsky on the basis of the notes left by Marx.
The present copy of the rare English first translation is gaining additional interest because of the dedication on the end paper. On the end paper there is the entry 'William Morris from .... Edward Aveling. March 1887 '. This is joined by Engels' autograph signature (inserted into Aveling's dedication). The coincidence of these three names can be regarded as very unusual. Engels was the editor of Marx's writings, his literary legacy. Aveling was one of Marx's translators (he had married Marx's youngest daughter, Eleanor). Morris is the founder of the Arts and Craft Movement, one of the most influential innovators in the arts and crafts - textile art, furniture art, book printing, etc.
