一 《历史学笔记》是马克思于19世纪80年代初所写的一部读书笔记,共有4本,约140万字。从目前掌握的材料来看,马克思在逝世前一年写完的关于世界历史的这些笔记,是他生前所写的最后一部篇幅巨大的史学手稿。 马克思晚年由于病魔缠身而体力日益衰弱。但他仍密切注视欧洲革命运动的发展,而且依然贪婪地读书,不停地收集材料,作摘要,写笔记。 A “history notes” is a study note written by Marx in the early 1980s, a total of four, about 1.4 million words. Judging from the materials currently available, the notes on world history that Marx wrote in the year prior to his death are the last great historical manuscript written during his lifetime. In his later years, Marx became physically weaker due to illness. However, he still closely followed the development of the European revolutionary movement and remained greedy to read books, kept collecting materials, abstracting and writing notes.
