Mary Gabriel
978-0-316-06611-2, $35.00
A surprising and revelatory account of romance and revolution—and one of the great love stories of all time.
Brilliantly researched and wonderfully written, Love and Capital is a heartbreaking and dramatic saga of the family side of the man whose works would redefine the world after his death. Drawing upon years of research, acclaimed biographer Mary Gabriel brings to light the story of Karl and Jenny Marx’s marriage. We follow them as they roam Europe, on the run from hostile governments amidst a secret network of would-be revolutionaries, and see Karl not only as an intellectual but as a protective father and loving husband, a visionary, a jokester, and a man of tremendous passions.
In Love and Capital, Mary Gabriel has given us a vivid, resplendent, and truly human portrait of the Marxes—their desires, heartbreak, and devotion to each other and their ideals.
