• The German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote The Communist Manifesto in 1848, which was initially known as the Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei).The Communist Manifesto is composed of a prologue, four main parts, and a brief conclusion.The preface warns that communism is "haunting Europe" and urges Communists to publicly state their beliefs and objectives in order to "counter this nursery story of the spectre with a manifesto of the party itself."The communist party will not fight other working-class parties but rather, regardless of nationality, will represent the global proletariat's interests and voice its universal will. The section concludes by laying forth a series of immediate requirements that, if met, would eventually result in a stateless and classless society.The last portion examines the communist perspective on conflicts in certain nations in the middle of the nineteenth century, including France, Switzerland, Poland, and Germany. The document concludes by pledging allegiance to the democratic socialists, vehemently endorsing previous communist revolutions, and urging coordinated global proletariat action.

• Ambrose Bierce wrote a satirical dictionary titled The Devil's Dictionary. The lexicon was first written over a period of thirty years as a collection of articles for magazines and newspapers. It has gained a name all across the world by being frequently repeated and imitated. It was listed among the top 100 works of American literature in the 1970s.The English Language, his dictionary, was released on April 15th, 1755. 42,733 terms were defined in Johnson's Dictionary, almost all seriously. The alphabetical list of definitions that we have here was put together from several notes, copies, and variations.The first definition attributed to Ambrose Bierce was released in 1867. His satirical dictionary "The Demon's Dictionary" was only published once, but it inspired imitators. Harry Ellington Brook wrote one of the most significant ones for The Illustrated San Francisco Wasp. In The Wasp, Paul Bierce's satirical definitions took the place of "Wasp's Improved Webster" and were replaced with his own. He penned 79 articles for "The Devil's Dictionary," making his way through the alphabet to the word "lickspittle" in the 14 August 1886 edition.

• One of the oldest works of feminist philosophy is A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects (1792). According to Mary Wollstonecraft, women should get an education appropriate to their social standing.Wollstonecraft addresses the political and educational philosophers of the 18th century who opposed women receiving an education. She contends that women should receive an education appropriate to their standing in society since they teach the country's children and because they have the potential to be "companions" to their husbands rather than mere wives. Wollstonecraft asserts that women are human beings deserving of the same fundamental rights as men, rejecting the idea that they are decorations for society or something to be exchanged in marriage.Wollstonecraft uses a variety of parallels to convey the situation of women in society.

• Thus Spake Zarathustra, a work of philosophical fiction by Friedrich Nietzsche, was written between 1883 and 1885. Although the protagonist is ostensibly the actual Zoroaster, there is a little historical parallel to the character outside of a few sentences. The majority of the book is made up of speeches by Zarathustra on a range of topics, with the phrase "Thus spoke Zarathustra" finishing off each one.The hermit who created Zarathustra was motivated by the sun, which can only be happy when it shines on others. Many of the concepts that will be covered throughout the book are introduced in the prologue, which is the first chapter of the book.They discuss the themes of the death of God and the emergence of the Übermensch while also introducing the idea of the will to power.While remaining alone in his cave, Zarathustra starts to become older. He receives a visit from a soothsayer one day who promises to tempt him into compassion. He comes to understand that the superior guy is everyone he has spoken to that day. The next morning, he sees a lion and a flock of doves outside his cave.

• The Story of Emil Sinclair's Childhood is a historical novel by Hermann Hesse. It was published in 1919, and the introduction was added in 1960. The first edition of Demian was published under the pen name of Emil Sinclair, the name of the storyteller. However, Hesse was later revealed to be the author, and the 10th version was quickly named after him. When it was published in 1919, this transitional novel received immediate critical and popular acclaim. A masterpiece in the history of 20th-century literature, it reflects the writer's distraction with the duality of human nature and the achievement of spiritual fulfillment.

• Based on the events of a single day, a Wednesday in June 1923, Mrs. Dalloway is a unique book as its narrative skillfully interweaves unconnected storylines to take place on this fateful day. The story opens with Clarissa running an errand to buy flowers. Reactions of different people can be noticed when unexpected events keep occurring throughout the day. For example, a plane writing in the sky and a car emitting an explosive noise. Peter, her old partner, shows up not long after she gets home. During their conversation, it becomes evident that the two are still very much in love with one another. In a vulnerable exchange, Peter asks Clarissa if she's happy. Elizabeth, Clarissa's daughter, cuts them off before Clarissa can respond. The narrative then shifts to a World War I veteran, Septimus Warren Smith, who is suffering from PTSD. In order to meet Sir William Bradshaw, a psychiatrist, he is waiting with his wife, Lucrezia. Another perspective switch takes place and this time we get to experience Richard’s narrative, who is going through an internal struggle with respect to his relationship with his wife Clarissa. The change in narratives keeps the reader on edge and leads to a conclusion which manages to bring everything together.

• This darkly humorous story, a Russian classic from the golden period, describes the ascent of a schoolteacher to sadism, murder, and arson.The regional schoolteacher Peredonov is insane, lustful, cruel, and foolish; nevertheless, to everyone else, he is a respectable member of society. He torments his students and has hallucinatory thoughts about deeds of brutality and humiliation. His pursuit of marriage as a means of advancement leads to paranoia, sexual depravity, arson, torture, and murder.One of the great comic monsters of twentieth-century literature, Sologub's anti-hero gave his name to the sadomasochistic subculture known as Peredonovism.The author of "The Little Demon" (1907), who rejected claims that the book was autobiographical, became an instant celebrity after saying, "No, my darling contemporaries... it is about you." The best Russian novel to come out of the Symbolist movement is perhaps this hideous portrait of a spiritually bankrupt society.

• Ruskin ties his aesthetic theories to real-world issues in The Two Paths. The main tenet of Ruskin's theories of art was that while corrupt and despondent people, who work in unjust societies and rely on the tools of the industrial age, produce inferior art, contented people, who work in just societies and strive to capture the essence of nature, produce fine and noble art. Theoretical methods used by critics like Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, and Max Horkheimer are anticipated and complemented by Ruskin's articles.This Prospects in Visual Rhetoric Critical Edition, the only version of The Two Paths currently in print, offers a rethinking of the rhetorical tradition from a visual standpoint. The introductions and annotations were created to encourage critical debates on Ruskin's artistic ideas, his activism for social reform, his use of visual rhetoric, and the political and historical settings in which his works were produced.
