I'm not sure if there is an english title for this book, I just translated it from Marx para principiantes by RIUS, which is one of my favourite authors. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you have read this book and what do you think of it? Have you read any more books by RIUS?

EDIT: OK, there IS an english version which you can find here <<< (http://www.worldhistoryhub.com/Marx_for_Beginners_Philosophy_Economic_Doctrine_Hi storical_Materialism_0679725121.html).

I saw that at a book store the other day. It&#39;s pretty nice. Lately, I have been using the New Union Party&#39;s Marxist Study Course (http://www1.minn.net/~nup/chlist.htm).

I have not read it, but I recommend: Courses of Marxism (http://www.oneparty.co.uk/html/courses.html)

I have not read this,but I might just suck it up and use all the Christmas money I have and buy all the volumes of Das Kapitol.Though I am debating whether to buy Enver Hoxha&#39;s "Imperialism and The Revolution" instead as this is a very hard to find book.

I did read Marx For Beginners, and I thought it was great. I have also read half of Lenin For Beginners, and it is also great. All of the books in that series do a great job of summarizing very complicated philosophies. I recently bought Chomsky For Beginners, but I have not yet read it. I have looked at several others in the series, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Yes, a great book for small attention spans like my own. :)

Awesome&#33; This books are great, I adore RIUS. The Lenin, Marx and Mao ones are great&#33; Also check The Perestroika and the one I&#39;m not sure there is an english version of is La turkulenta historia del kapitalismo.

Hey Comrade Ceausescu why waste the money when you can read Hoxha&#39;s work here for free: http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/...imp_rev/toc.htm (http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hoxha/works/imp_rev/toc.htm)
You can also find all the volumes of Das Kapital on the same site for free; save the money you&#39;d spend on those books and use it too fund a local revolutionary organisation etc.

I&#39;ve read the book and I found it very enjoyable. I think the whole series manages to explain some complicated areas in a very entertaining and helpful manner. My favourites are the ones on Marx, Nietzsche, Political Philosophy, Sartre and Kierkegaard.
