Martin Rowson Ordre des livres (chronologique)

The Communist Manifesto is one of the most influential pieces of political propaganda ever written. It is a summary of the whole Marxist vision of history and is the foundation document of the Marxist movement. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were aged 29 and 27 respectively when The Communist Manifesto was published on the eve of the 1848 revolutions. The authors had been close collaborators since 1844, and the Manifesto is a condensed and incisive account of the world-view they had evolved during their hectic intellectual and political involvement of the previous few years. This new edition is critically and textually up to date, and includes the Prefaces written by Marx and Engels subsequent to the 1848 edition.

Witty and tongue-in-cheek, over the past five years Martin Rowson's limericks and cartoons have retold the story of world literature, appearing each week in the Independent on Sunday. Now collected together, 'The Limerickiad' takes us from John Donne to Jane Austen, showcasing the author's reverence for texts.

Nicht nur Goethe war von Tristram Shandy – der fiktiven Autobiografie eines Mannes, die auf fast 1000 Seiten kaum über dessen Geburt hinauskommt – begeistert, auch Sigmund Freud und Thomas Mann waren leidenschaftliche Sterne-Leser. Wie kein anderes satirisches Werk des 18. Jahrhunderts hat Laurence Sternes Tristram Shandy die deutsche und die internationale Literatur beeinflusst. Martin Rowson hat diesen überbordenden Klassiker des hintergründigen Humors als kongeniale Graphic Novel umgesetzt. Nun erscheint sein Meisterwerk endlich auf Deutsch. Laurence Sternes 'Lies, lies, lies, lies, mein ungelehrter Leser, lies!' folgt nun auch ein 'Schau'!
