About this Book

This collection includes the Theses on Feuerbach, the complete Communist Manifesto, and substantial selections from On the Jewish Question, the Economic-philosophical manuscripts of 1844, The German Ideology, Grundrisse, Capital, and the Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, among others. In addition, documents, letters, and reminiscences offer a portrait of Marx the man, as student, husband, father, enemy, and friend. This volume attempts to present the man with his individual scars, to provide material for an understanding of Marx himself. Also includes a chronology of Marx's life and work, a reader's guide to special terminology, and an explanatory index.
