Summary

This classic biography of Karl Marx, complete with Gareth Stedman Jones' poignant introduction, is unlike any other account of its subject. Including virtually every photograph in existence of Marx and his closest associates, and focusing as much on his private life as on his public persona and work, it provides an intimate portrait of the making of a complex intellectual the New Yorker recently dubbed "the next most influential thinker."

Author Biography

Werner Blumenberg was a member of the underground against Hitler both in Germany and as an emigre in Holland
