The Communist Manifesto (originally Manifesto of the Communist Party) is an 1848 political pamphlet by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Commissioned by the Communist League and originally published in London (in German as Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei) just as the revolutions of 1848 began to erupt, the Manifesto was later recognised as one of the world's most influential political manuscripts. It presents an analytical approach to the class struggle (historical and then-present) and the problems of capitalism and the capitalist mode of production, rather than a prediction of communism's potential future forms. The Communist Manifesto summarises Marx and Engels' theories about the nature of society and politics, that in their own words, "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles". It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism.

That night was a night I could never forget. It burned in the deepest part of my brain, ruining my life. That is until I'm transferred to London and presented with a new identity and a new life. But all too soon that is taken away and I'm thrown back under the bus into the life I so desperately want to leave behind. But it's too late. Partnered with the notorious Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, can I catch The Wendigo before he kills more people? Before he ruins my life forever? Before he hurts the person I care for most?
