"At the request of my friend, Paul Lafargue, now
representative of Lille in the French Chamber of Deputies, I
arranged three chapters of this book as a pamphlet, which he
translated and published in 1880, under the title: "Socialisme
utopique et Socialisme scientifique". From this French
text, a Polish and a Spanish edition were prepared. In 1883, out
German friends brought out the pamphlet in the original language.
Italian, Russian, Danish, Dutch, and Roumanian translations, based
upon the German text, have since been published. Thus, the present
English edition, this little book circulates in 10 languages. I am
not aware that any other Socialist work, not even our Communist
Manifesto of 1848, or Marx's Capital,
has been so often translated. In Germany, it has had four editions
of about 20,000 copies in all.
