The Communist Manifesto and Other Writings

The Communist Manifesto and Other Writings by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, some translated by H. J. Stenning and Samuel Moore

Translations appear to have come from KARL MARX: SELECTED ESSAYS

"Communist Manifesto" (1888 translation by Samuel Moore )

"A Criticism of the Hegelian Philosophy of Right" -1843, intro published in 1844

"On the King of Prussia and Social Reform" 1844

"Moralizing Criticism and Critical Morality: A Polemic Against Karl Heinzen" 1847

"Proudhon" (from Holy Family, 1844)

"French Materialism" (from Holy Family, 1844)

"The English Revolution" (1850)

This collection has the real Communist Manifesto and some additional essays by Marx. The topics do not quite seem so revolutionary today. Neither do they sound hugely Marxist in the modern view. The communism of these writings expects a more gradual change that will be inevitable. Classes of people have found themselves as mere cogs and want to assert general rights. What is the best way to go about doing it?

Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

According to Wikipedia, Wuthering Heights was the only novel by Emily Bronte. The book deals with Heathcliff. There are some ghosts and some horror elements. People are mean to each other. It is not a pleasant society in the novel. There were some seeds of interesting characters, but it was hard to keep interested.

Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

This is better than the Jane Austen books, but it is long. Jane is a governess. She falls for the much older Rochester and is upset that he is going to get married. He offers to marry her, but this falls apart when it is found he was already married. At the end, he becomes an invalid and they are able to marry. There is a lot of detail and conversation in between, with family history and wealth all tied together. 

The Vocation of the Scholar

The Vocation of the Scholar by Johann Gottlieb Fichte

This is a short work of Fichte's philosophy. While the translated title is "Vocation of the Scholar", the lectures are more of a general look at man's role in universe. What is the role of man for himself? What is his role and responsibility in society? How do classes fit in? Then finally, near the hind, what responsibilities do scholars have with all of this?
