49 The Communist Manifesto

In 1848 the publication of the Communist Manifesto was sidelined by the February Revolution in France and the turmoil that followed elsewhere in Europe. Later on, Marx’s pamphlet was reprinted countless times as a summary or symbol of communism. The manuscript has been lost, but in June 1883 Engels sent a page of a draft (with two lines at the top by Marx’s wife Jenny von Westphalen) to Eduard Bernstein, who kept this final remnant.
