Christina Morina’s illuminating book focuses on the first generation of Marxists featuring such figures as Rosa Luxemburg, Max Adler, Jean Jaurès, Eduard Bernstein, Karl Kautsky, and Vladimir Lenin—German, French, Russian, Czech who turned the work and ideas of one social theorist, one among many, into one of the most powerful transnational political
movements in modern history. They were the vehicles by which his ideas were read, debated, and gradually adopted in socialist movements across Europe.
