**Translation:**

This study explores how Marx and Engels integrated historical materialism with the horizon of European literature in *The Communist Manifesto*, incorporating other texts through intertextuality to form an organic whole. The historical evolution of the bourgeoisie parallels literary narratives, while technological subjectivity drives revolutionary social production, drawing comparisons with the creation myth of the *Bible*. Historical materialism foretells the decline of the bourgeoisie and the victory of the proletariat, likening the bourgeoisie to the sorcerer in Goethe’s *The Sorcerer’s Apprentice*, who unleashes productive forces but succumbs to existential crisis.

I. The Fusion of Horizons Between *The Communist Manifesto* and European Literature and Its Poetic Preparation

The discussion examines the fusion of horizons between *The Communist Manifesto* and European literature, revealing the intertextual relationship between Marx and Engels’ works and European literary traditions. Their writings engage not only with colloquialisms, the *Bible*, and Goethe’s ballads but also combine ancient Greek mythology and *New Testament* imagery with critiques of socialism. This literary thinking stems from their study of classical European poetic works and attempts at poetic creation. The integration of literary motifs and philosophical discourse in *The Communist Manifesto* reflects the deep narrative structure of literary elements within Marxist theory.

II. The Literary Narrative of Historical Materialism: The Narrative Strategy of the "Bourgeoisie" Plotline

This section analyzes the "bourgeoisie" narrative thread in *The Communist Manifesto* and its role in the literary narrative of historical materialism. The narrative traces the historical trajectory of the bourgeoisie from its birth to its demise, structured into six phases: the emergence of the bourgeoisie, its revolutionary rise, capitalist globalization, the liberation of productive forces, the decline of the bourgeoisie, and the emergence of the proletariat. As representatives of the "new," the bourgeoisie contrasts with the feudal "old," with their ascending trajectory marked by progressive rhetorical effects. The subjectivity of the bourgeoisie culminates in a climactic parallel to the *Bible*’s creation and transformation narratives, only to sharply decline, leading to the displacement of the bourgeoisie by the proletariat. The narrative focus ultimately shifts to the proletariat, who undergo a grammatical-syntactical transformation from passive recipients to active agents, ultimately breaking the bourgeoisie-centered framework. Marx and Engels’ negation of the bourgeoisie starkly contrasts with the proletariat’s "revolutionary unity," with the latter’s victory becoming pivotal in overthrowing the bourgeoisie.

III. Textual Interpretation of the Fusion Between *The Communist Manifesto* and European Literary Horizons

This section delves into the comparison between the "creation myth" of capitalism in *The Communist Manifesto* and the *Bible*’s *Genesis*, revealing the bourgeoisie’s godlike role in capitalist globalization and its global expansion built on plunder and slaughter. Through intertextuality with the *Bible*, the poetic narrative strategy of *The Communist Manifesto* and the coherence of historical materialist discourse are demonstrated. Additionally, it analyzes how the bourgeoisie achieves global assimilation through technological advancement and the proletariat’s historical mission to seize the world through revolutionary movements.

The chapter also discusses Marx and Engels’ analysis of productive forces in the capitalist era, employing vivid and richly imagistic phrases such as "trampled out of the soil," blending horizons with the *Bible*’s "bosom of Abraham" to imbue social labor with transformative power, hinting at the bourgeoisie’s miraculous awakening of productive forces.

Furthermore, it explores the role of the "sorcery" metaphor in the disorder of capitalist society, merging with the horizon of German literature, particularly Goethe’s *The Sorcerer’s Apprentice*. Marx and Engels draw on Goethe’s motifs of summoning and losing control of magical forces, using the metaphor of "sorcery" to illustrate the logic of capitalism, exposing contradictions between productive forces and relations of production, as well as social crises. By reimagining the character dynamics in *The Sorcerer’s Apprentice*, they transfer the "final word" to the proletariat, completing the shift from the "bourgeoisie" to the "proletariat" narrative and foreshadowing the bourgeoisie’s downfall and the proletariat’s triumph.

IV. Conclusion

Marx and Engels synthesize historical materialism with European poetics and contemporary experience, emphasizing the dialectical unity of reason and sensibility, concept and imagery, science and literature. In *The Communist Manifesto*, philosophical rationality and poetic passion complement each other, with literary motifs merging seamlessly into historical materialist discourse. Through literary imagery from the *Bible* and *The Sorcerer’s Apprentice*, the rise and fall of the bourgeoisie are depicted, revealing the inevitability of the proletariat’s seizure of power and affirming European literature as an integral component of Marxism.
