This collection will be of interest to all who want to dive deeper into one of the 20th century's most brilliant women revolutionaries, Rosa Luxemburg. The publication will coincide with the 100-year anniversary of her death in 1919.

Renewed attention to the role of radical women in the historical socialist movement has been shown through increased interest in the work of Clara Zetkin and Alexandra Kollontai, some of whose books were among the top sales during our Women's Liberation Month sale in March 2018.

The Living Flame, by Paul Le Blanc, contributes to this renewed interest by exploring the life and ideas of Rosa Luxemburg.
