Written by leading Marx scholar Maximilien Rubel and Margaret Manale, this meticulous chronological study traces Marx's intellectual and personal evolution from his early years in Trier through the turbulent revolutionary politics of mid-19th century Europe and on to the exhaustive labour that produced Capital. Grounding each stage of his development in verifiable historical fact, the authors construct an authoritative portrait that is as much a work of rigorous scholarship as it is a compelling biographical narrative.\n\nWhat distinguishes this work is its unflinching commitment to demythologising a figure who had, by the mid-twentieth century, become more icon than individual. Rubel — widely regarded as one of the foremost international authorities on Marx's writings — brings his encyclopaedic knowledge of the primary sources to bear alongside Manale's collaborative scholarly precision, producing a text that challenges both uncritical admirers and reflexive detractors. The result is a landmark contribution to the history of ideas, one that forces the reader to confront a Marx far more ambiguous, contradictory, and ultimately human than the revolutionary myth allows — and all the more fascinating for it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203275727067,"sku":"2026200013049-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/25121b92-1f12-4d32-b5a0-d3ac1f7503a1.png?v=1788147206","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013049-secondhand-marx-without-myth-a-chronological-study-of-his-life-and-work","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
