The Holy History of Mankind appeared in 1837, and was the first book-length socialist tract to appear in Germany, representing an unusual synthesis of Judaism and Christianity. The distinguished political scientist Shlomo Avineri provides the first full English translation of this classic text, along with new renditions of Sozialsmus und Kommunismus and Ein Kommunistisches Bekenntis. All of the usual student-friendly series features are provided, including a chronology, concise introduction and notes for further reading.
