Karl Marx: A Select Bibliography

Updated: Mar 22

 মার্কসের ২০০তম জন্মদিনে বাছাই করা শতাধিক হালফিল বইয়ের তালিকা।বিষয়: মার্কস


প্রাচীন এই দর্শনাত্মাকে নিয়ে সামান্য চর্চন করে ভাবনার কুলুঙ্গিতে মাসকাবারি খোরাক তুলে নিতে চেয়েছিলাম আমরা, ভাবুক সভা-র সভ্যরা। পাঁচ আগের কথা। তখন মার্কসের দুশ বছর চলছে, সমারোহে। প্রেসিডেন্সি বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের ইতিহাস বিভাগের হলঘরে আমাদের আড্ডার মূল সুতো ধরে দিতে সেবার হাজির ছিলেন দেবরাজ ভট্টাচার্য। পাশাপাশি তিনি আমাদের হাতে তুলে দেন মার্কস ও তাঁর চিন্তাভাবনা ইত্যাদি বিষয়ে হালফিলের বইপত্তরের একটা লম্বা তালিকা। প্রায় ১২০খানা বইয়ের এই দীর্ঘ তালিকা প্রস্তুত করেছেন উনি-ই। উল্লেখ্য, তালিকার বইগুলি সবই ২০০০ সালের পরে প্রকাশিত। ওঁর সম্পাদিত Karl Marx : Nineteenth Century Memories and Reflections (২০১৮, কলকাতা: পার্চমেন্ট) বইয়ের শেষে বিবলিওগ্রাফি হিসেবেও পাওয়া যাবে এই তালিকা।


On Marx's 200th birth anniversary, we at Bhabuk Sabha gathered in a history department classroom to discuss his works. Debraj Bhattacharya was present with us to drive the main thread of our conversation. On this occasion, he also Marx's shared with us a long list of contemporary books on Marx and his thoughts, consisting of almost 120 titles; all the books in the list are all published after 2000. This list can also be found as a bibliography at the end of his edited book Karl Marx : Nineteenth Century Memories and Reflections (Kolkata: Parchment, 2018).


Debraj Bhattacharya has also compiled an educational playlist on Marx on his YouTube channel (which he mentions below). Find the playlist here:




 


Select Bibliography    

"Due to space considerations, only books published or republished after 2000 have been included here. Sincere apologies to authors whose work has been left out inadvertently. I have added a YouTube playlist as the videos provide free access to important educational resources on Marx and Marxism. For nineteenth and twentieth century works on Marx, see Marxist Internet Archive, which is a free resource."
