Karl Marx: Man and Fighter

Taylor & Francis

Strife has raged about Karl Marx for decades, and never had it been so embittered as at the time of this book\u2019s first publication, 1936. Marx had impressed his image on the time as not other had done. To some he was \u2013 and still is \u2013 a fiend, the arch-enemy of human civilisation, and the prince of chaos, while to others he is a far-seeing and beloved leader, guiding the human race towards a brighter future. The arena in which Marx was fought about in 1936 was in the factories, in the parliaments and at the barricades. In both camps, the bourgeois and the socialist, Marx was first of all, if not exclusively, the revolutionary. This book sets out to describe the life of Marx the fighter.\n > Foreword; Chapter I Origins and Childhood; Chapter II A Happy Year at Bonn; Chapter III Jenny Von Westphalen; Chapter IV Student Years in Berlin; Chapter V Philosophy Under Censorship; Chapter VI The Germans Learn French; Chapter VII The Communist Artisans of Paris; Chapter VIII Thr
