Rosa Luxemburg or the price of freedom

Abstract

The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation promoted the launch of the second edition – significantly revised and expanded – of the book Rosa Luxemburg or the price of freedom on March 27th. From the first edition, “Between love and anger”, by Jorn Schütrumpf, were republished; “Socialism and freedom”, by Michael Löwy; and The Russian Revolution, Rosa's fundamental text. In addition to these, comments from those who lived with the revolutionary, such as Lenin and Paul Levi, were also republished. Among these texts, the testimony of Rosi Wolfstein stands out, which offers an account of the impact that Rosa Luxemburg had among students at the party school. In addition, two texts were republished in which Rosa's lyrical talent can be seen (the bitter “No albergue”, and the consoling “My poor buffalo, my poor dear brother”).
