Unpublished at the time, Luk cs himself thought that the text had been destroyed. However, a group of researchers recently found the manuscript gathering dust in the newly opened archives of the CPSU in Moscow. Now for the first time, this fascinating, polemical and intense text is available in English. It is a crucial part of a hidden intellectual history and will transform interpretations of Luk cs's oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorg Lukács \u003c\/b\u003e (1885-1971) was a Hungarian Marxist philosopher and literary critic.

He served briefly as Hungary's Minister of Culture following the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eEsther Leslie\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in English and Humanities at Birkbeck College, London.
