Berlin, que dispensa apresentações, enviou essa obra aos editores em um texto de 100.000 palavras, e foi solicitado a diminuir essa quantidade. Depois de podar 20.000 palavras, o texto foi publicado. O site que vos trago hoje apresenta o texto original.The original text of Karl Marx was very much longer, at some 100,000 words, than the Editors of the series for which it was commissioned, the Home University Library, were willing to accept. So Berlin cut it by about 20,000 words. The uncut text survived; this has now been collated with the first edition of the book by Simon Toubeau, and posted on this site, with the excised material distinguished from the material that was retained.
