Karl Marx. The Man Who Changed the World. Life. Ideals. Utopia

The name of Karl Marx has been familiar to every person in our country since childhood. His ideas formed the basis of the Soviet state — Marxism-Leninism became the official ideology of the country. However, Karl Marx himself was a modest man and did not crave popularity. The "Manifesto of the Communist Party" and "Capital" forever changed the history of political thought, while the philosopher, along with his family, spent many years in poverty and died in obscurity. The leading researcher of Marx's life and ideas, Professor David McLellan, created the most complete biography, which introduces us to the tragic fate of this great man — a thinker, an exile, a loving husband, and a loyal friend. His multifaceted philosophy is narrated in this international bestseller so captivatingly that there is no doubt: Karl Marx is rightfully considered the man who changed the world. "Almost all our reflections on history and society are a dialogue with the ghost of Marx... In some sense, we are all Marxists now." (David McLellan)
