Author: Karl Marx and Frederick Engels
This pamphlet, (written in 1847) displaying greater genius than any other in world literature, astounds us even today by its freshness. Its most important sections appear to have been written yesterday. Assuredly, the young authors (Marx was 29, Engels 27) were able to look further into the future than anyone before them, and perhaps than anyone since them.
– Leon Trotsky, October 30 1937
