Love and Capital: Karl and Jenny Marx and the Birth of a Revolution by Mary Gabriel

5.0

A fascinating portrait of Karl Marx, his family life, and a revolutionary period. Mary Gabriel captures the spirit of the age, the intimacies of the personal life of Marx and Engels and showcases the brilliance, thought, faults and foibles of Marx the man. She also paints the tragedy, brilliance, and enormous emotional labour of the revolutionary women of Marx's time and family, and gives worthy celebration of their own lives and achievements. Worth a read.
