Book Description

Essential Works of Lenin: "What Is to Be Done?" and Other Writings

Among the most influential political and social forces of the 20th century, modern communism rests firmly on philosophical, political and economic underpinnings developed by Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, later known as Lenin. In this volume, comprising the four works generally considered his most important publications, Lenin presents the goals and tactics of communism with remarkable directness and forcefulness.
His first major work was The Development of Capitalism in Russia, written in prison after Lenin had been arrested for anti-government activities in 1895. Represented here by key sections, the book developed a number of crucial concepts, including the significance of the industrial proletariat as a revolutionary base. What Is to Be Done?, long regarded as the key manual of communist action, is presented complete, containing Lenin's famous dissection of the Western idea of the political party along with his own concept of a monolithic party organization devoted to achieving the goal of dictatorship of the proletariat. Also presented complete is Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, in which Lenin examines the final "parasitic" stage of capitalism. Finally, this volume includes the complete text of The State and Revolution, Lenin's most significant work, in which he totally rejects the institution of Western democracy and presents his vision of the final perfection of communism.

Vladimir Lenin

Vladimir Lenin: Russian politician and writer, leader of the Bolshevik Revolution, founder of the Soviet Communist Party, and proponent of the Leninist political doctrine that many countries followed in the twentieth century. His full name is "Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov", and his nickname is "Lenin" after the Siberian river "Lina". He was born in the Russian city of Simbirsk in 1870, to a father who works as a teacher and a mother who is a highly educated housewife, who was keen to spread the spirit of revolution in her five children. He showed ingenuity in school and special diligence, his father died at the age of sixteen, and his older brother was executed for attempted murder of Caesar. In the same year, Lenin obtained high school with distinction and then joined Kazan University, but was expelled from it for leading a movement to demand freedom within the university. After that, he succeeded in affiliation to Petersburg University on the condition that he only attend exams, from which he obtained a Bachelor of Laws in 1891 AD. “Lenin” practiced law immediately upon his graduation, and during that period he deepened his reading of Karl Marx, until he joined a Marxist group in Petersburg that he later led, then he met active Marxists in France, Germany and Switzerland, to be arrested after returning to Russia for a year under investigation, and then exiled to Siberia. Lenin spent his period of exile writing books, and the most important book he wrote there was: The Development of Capitalism in Russia. After the First World War, Lenin was accused of working for the Germans, but he managed to escape to Poland, and there he wrote his book “State and Revolution.” Then he called on the central body of the party to carry out a revolution. Russia is under their control, Lenin was elected Speaker of the People's Assembly, ended the war with Germany and abolished the individual monarchy. In addition to his political activity, “Lenin” was a philosopher and writer, and he authored up to forty-five books, which influenced important political figures after him, such as “Stalin” and “Guevara”. Lenin was shot in 1922, causing a stroke that killed him in 1924. His body was embalmed and buried on Red Square in Moscow, where tourists from his fans around the world go to his grave.
