 A fiery call to arms and one of the most influential political documents ever written, The Communist Manifesto lays out the theory of class struggle and revolution with uncompromising clarity. Published in 1848 amid rising unrest across Europe, Marx and Engels present a sweeping critique of capitalism and a bold vision of a society where the workers of the world unite to overthrow oppression. At once a historical artifact and a living text, The Communist Manifesto continues to provoke, inspire, and challenge readers across the political spectrum.

 Originally published in 1934, The Mother by Pearl S. Buck is a poignant and quietly powerful novel that delves into the inner life of an unnamed Chinese peasant woman. Living in a traditional rural village, the protagonist grapples with the burdens of poverty, social expectation, and maternal duty. When her husband abandons her, she is left to raise their children alone, navigating a harsh world that offers few choices for a woman in her position.

Through lyrical prose and a deeply empathetic lens, Buck explores themes of resilience, silence, and the unspoken strength of women. The mother’s journey is not defined by grand heroism but by the quiet sacrifices and emotional endurance required to protect her family and preserve her dignity in the face of shame and hardship.

Buck, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1938, brings her intimate knowledge of Chinese village life to bear in this introspective work. The Mother is both a social commentary and a tribute to the countless anonymous women whose lives are shaped by forces beyond their control—yet who persist with quiet grace.
