Karl Marx

Wilfried Nippel

As a politician, journalist and scientist, Karl Marx left behind an impressive body of work. However, his contemporaries only became acquainted with small parts of it and mostly through posthumous editions. Friedrich Engels began the process of releasing these volumes and, at the same time, established his interpretation of Marx’s life and work, which has had a lasting effect to this day. On the occasion of Marx’s 200th birthday, Wilfried Nippel offers a fascinating account that focuses on the impact he had on his time.
