«El dieciocho Brumario de Luis Bonaparte» is the essay by Karl Marx, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Marx analyzes the 1851 coup d'état in France, when Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte dissolved the National Assembly and put an end to the Second Republic. From historical materialism, he studies class struggles and the role of the state to explain how the counter-revolution prevailed, turning the episode into a model of political analysis.
The work belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo-Ciencias Sociales collection. The translation and introduction are by Elisa Chuliá Rodrigo.
Work for readers interested in political philosophy, nineteenth-century history and Marxist thought.
Karl Marx was a German philosopher, social and political theorist, and revolutionary socialist. He developed the theory of historical materialism, analysing societal structure and change, particularly class struggle under capitalism, and predicting the system's ultimate replacement by communism. Marx co-authored The Communist Manifesto (1848) with Friedrich Engels, and undertook a critique of classical political economy in his magnum opus, Das Kapital (1867–1894). His ideas and their later development, collectively known as Marxism, have had enormous influence on intellectual, political, and social history, and have inspired revolutionary movements in many countries.
