This dialogue attempts to reconstruct the interchange of ideas between Karl Marx and Michael Bakunin when they met on November 3, 1864. The Russian socialist was on a visit to London: Marx, living here in exile, paid a friendly call on him. They had known one another for more than twenty years. Each was wary of the other, and both were competing for leadership of the workers' international. Marx was opposed to Bakunin's panslavism and libertarianism: Bakunin was equally opposed to Marx's ' Germanic ' state socialism. But each still regarded the other as a possible ally in the struggle against the bourgeoisie. with Marius Goring as Karl Marx

For 400 years Luther has been known in this country by less than a dozen of his thousands of writings. Now an edition of more than fifty volumes is in progress in the U.S.A.
Professor Rupp speaks about the recent translation into English of some of the lectures Luther gave as a young professor in Wittenberg, and considers their bearing on the traditional picture of the Reformer.
