Karl Marx : a nineteenth-century life
Jonathan Sperber (Author), OverDrive, Inc (Distributor)
“Absorbing, meticulously researched. . . . (Sperber) succeeds in the primary task of all biography, re-creating a man who leaps off the page.” ?Jonathan Freedland, -- New York Review of Books provides a historical context for the personal story of one of the most influential and controversial political philosophers in Western history. By removing Marx from the ideological conflicts of the twentieth century that colored his legacy and placing him within “the society and intellectual currents of the nineteenth century” (Ian Kershaw), Sperber is able to present a full portrait of Marx as neither a soothsaying prophet of the modern world nor the author of its darkest atrocities. This major biography fundamentally reshapes our understanding of a towering historical figure
