About this ebook
Published in 1884, this is Engels’s classic treatise that traces human development from the time of primitive communities to a class society aimed at the protection of private property. Based in part on Marx’s notes to Lewis H. Morgan’s book Ancient Society, Engels’ work was deemed by Lenin as “one of the fundamental works of modern socialism.”
Friedrich Engels
Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) was, like Karl Marx, a German philosopher, historian, political theorist, journalist and revolutionary socialist. Unlike Marx, Engels was born to a wealthy family, but he used his family's money to spread his philosophy of empowering workers, exposing what he saw as the bourgeoisie's sinister motives and encouraging the working class to rise up and demand their rights. He wrote several works in collaboration with Marx - most famously "The Communist Manifesto" - and supported Marx financially after he was forced to relocate to London. Following Marx's death, Engels compiled the second and third volumes of Das Kapital, ensuring that this seminal document would live on. He continued writing for the rest of his life and died in London in 1894.
