First volume of a major project to publish the complete works of a remarkable social theorist
Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) was a Polish-born Jewish revolutionary and one of the greatest theoretical minds of the European socialist movement. An activist in Germany and Poland, the author of numerous classic works, she participated in the founding of the German Communist Party and the Spartacist insurrection in Berlin in 1919. She was assassinated in January of that year and has become a hero of socialist, communist and feminist movements around the world.
One cannot read the writings of Rosa Luxemburg, even at this
distance, without an acute yet mournful awareness of what Perry
Anderson once termed 'the history of possibility.'
*Atlantic*
Transports us directly into the private world of a woman who has
never lost her inspirational power as an original thinker and
courageous activist ... [and] reveals that the woman behind the
mythic figure was also a compassionate, teasing, witty human
being.
