Description:
The correspondence between Marx and Engels covers nearly four decades, from 1844 until shorty before Marx's death in 1883. It may confidently be described as one of the most tremendous historical and human documents of the nineteenth century, testimony to a friendship of rare intensity. The correspondence, which takes up nine volumes of 400 to 500 pages each in the collected edition of Marx's and Engels's Works, has been preserved almost in its entirety; Engels before his death merely destroyed a few excessively intimate letters from his friend. Thus the letters present not only a double portrait of the two philosophers and politicians but also an insight into the circumstances of their lives, the development of their political theory as well as their defeats; a picture of their hardships and of their glory.
