No it is, to my knowledge, no abridged edition, yet I quickly realized by reading the pavement 1000 pages: either I the abrégeais or I threw it in the trash.
I speak here of my pocket version FOLIO collection tests, massive, broad BUT with a very small font, nearsighted, farsighted or astigmatic, it's going to hurt you, for those who have these problems in same time (and I know they exist) it's going to be very bad. same with the dining room lamp and a floor lamp on top of the book, it was difficult to read. especially as and as the night progressed.

So I start from the beginning and, if there are purists who love reading reading A until Z, I warn you, I jumped down the letters A D I jumped the F, the JKL, POs, the RTU and Y and Z.
It's so complex and special that I think that there are only the solution for a first reading, I listen to a broadcast of same an hour on France Culture to find out if I was a weird dude, and no, it is recommended as a philosopher interviewed him not to play in one piece for the first time, this monument.

I cut the bacon from the start.
General Introduction of 82 pages, blah, blah, blah .... I jump.
Notice until page 89, I fly
Exchanged letters and notices to the reader until page 95, I zap
Preface until page 99, I do not compute more than 3 lines.
Post-face until page 107, breezed, 30 seconds c is already too
Chapter 1 of the Merchandise until page 167, I like to calculate and it does not please me.
Chapter 2, trade, up to page 178; too boring, I zap
Chapter 3, currency until the P238, I have more interesting things to do ...
Chapter 4 general formula of capital, oh no
Chapter 5 contradiction of the formula, flute!
Chapter 6 purchase and sale of labor power, damn!
Chapter 7 use and value appreciation, thin!
Chapter 8 constant and variable capital, pissed!
Chapter 9 the rate of surplus value, flush cap!

You will understand we must all jump to finally get to page 334

Page 334; We finally arrived in chapter 10 and here c is EXCELLENT!
It speaks of "the working day."
The text is well done, but especially footer annotations there are extraordinary and definitely worth a sy plunges.
There is a very precise description of the working conditions and exploitation of the poor, peasants, orphans, children bloodcurdling.

I later skipped a lot of other paragraphs, but as there are several chapters dealing with new working conditions, I found a lot of data, interesting.
So in the end, I have read about 300 pages and I read absolutely all annotations that, oddly, are much better than even the text itself, but if you have Capital on a shelf or you can get your hands on this book, go straight to Chapter 10; read the !!
it only 50 dense pages well, but you'll fall in a world that thankfully is gone!

That of the excessive exploitation of the people!
