The Collected Works
Jacketed Hardcover Editions

Introducing our special editions of Josef Stalin's The Collected Works—combining historical rigor with the refined artisanship and craftsmanship Iskra has come to be known for, this hardcover edition, complete with new dust jacket and front cover art, is thoughtfully designed to be both an essential resource and a beautiful addition to any revolutionary library.

Perfect for historians, collectors, and those with an interest in revolutionary history, these special editions bring together the richness of Stalin's writings with a design that makes them worthy centerpieces for display and study.

​

Iskra Books has chosen to publish the full series of the Collected Works due to an academic scarcity of the original materials, an increasing inaccessibility of used copies of the original Foreign Languages Publishing House editions of the 1950s, and a growing scholarly and practical interest in the writings and ideas of one of the Twentieth Century's most impactful, if controversial, socialist heads of state.

Stalin's Works are both pedagogically accessible and theoretically important, and deserve to be studied not only as world-historical and practical applications of the development of Marxist-Leninist political theory, but, especially in an era where the rise of hegemonic imperialism and the decay of capitalism lead to an increasing global fascism, also as political-theoretical texts in their own right; as the core theoretical works underpinning extant socialist state governance, policy, legislation, and practice.
