Marx & Engels intimate

If someone reads this, it will be us! Gregor Gysi. You can expect an exciting reading from the personal letters and texts of the world's most famous philosophers: Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. These private letters from these two men are so unexpectedly hearty that we simply had to make a reading from them. But let's start with the key facts about the two: Karl Marx was born in 1818 in Trier and died in 1883 in London. Friedrich Engels was born two years later in Wuppertal and died in 1895 in London. In 1848, the two friends wrote their most famous work, the "Communist Manifesto," and shortly thereafter founded the "Neue Rheinische Zeitung" in Cologne. The newspaper quickly became one of the most famous press organs of the revolutionary years in all of Germany, with an unusually high circulation for that time of nearly 6,000 copies.
