Aventuras Marxistas (Siglo XXI de España General nº 1221)
Desde que leyó El manifiesto comunista siendo un estudiante de secundaria, Marshall Berman permaneció ligado al marxismo hasta llegar a ser uno de los pensadores marxistas de referencia internacional. En el núcleo del compromiso de Berman con el marxismo está la idea de que si queremos que esta filosofía siga teniendo importancia en el siglo XXI, tendrá que salirse de su molde actual como instrumento crítico o mero ejercicio de placer literario. El poder de emancipación del marxismo, su capacidad para configurar un mundo más allá de la pesada tarea diaria de vender el trabajo para sobrevivir, ha de ser renovado, y no fue otro su objetivo teórico.
En Aventuras marxistas, además de incluir su conocidísimo Todo lo sólido se desvanece en el aire, reunió una colección de textos en los que encontramos análisis brillantes de obras de Georg Lukács, Walter Benjamin, Meyer Schapiero, Edmund Wilson e Isaac Bábel, entre otros, que trabajaron sobre Marx y su legado. También incluye reflexiones sobre autores como Perry Anderson, Studs Terkel y reflexiones sobre la inestimable aportación de Engels y del mismo Marx.

His most recent publication is the anthology, New York Calling: From Blackout To Bloomberg, for which he was co-editor, with Brian Berger, and also wrote the introductory essay. In Adventures in Marxism, Berman tells of how while a Columbia University student in 1959, the chance discovery of Karl Marx's Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844 proved a revelation and inspiration, and became the foundation for all his future work. This personal tone pervades his work, linking historical trends with individual observations and inflections from the situation.
