Ebook: Love and Capital. Karl and Jenny Marx and the Birth of a Revolution

“A huge, often gripping book. It gives an entertaining and balanced portrait of Marx, Engels, their colorful milieu of exiles, freaks and revolutionaries, and the little-known Marx family, dominated by Karl’s political obsession. It also details illicit love affairs, the deaths of children and financial struggles, all based on vast research and narrated with empathetic passion... Mary Gabriel offers up a vivid portrait of a struggling, obsessional bohemian intellectual in the capitals of mid-nineteenth-century Europe.”
