Saul K. Padover's Karl Marx: An Intimate Biography strips away the myth and monument to present the flesh-and-blood man behind Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto, chronicling his turbulent relationships, intellectual rivalries, and lifelong struggle against exile, debt, and illness.\n\nPadover, a distinguished political scientist and historian, brings formidable scholarly authority to his subject, drawing on personal letters, diaries, and primary sources to illuminate Marx not merely as an architect of revolution, but as a husband, father, and friend. The result is a portrait that is as psychologically penetrating as it is historically rigorous, casting fresh light on the private passions and contradictions that fueled one of history's most consequential minds. Readers who think they know Karl Marx will discover they have only just begun.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203277299931,"sku":"2026200013065-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4faa235b-2a7a-44f3-9dd8-359b7e9334d8.png?v=1788147271","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013065-secondhand-karl-marx-an-intimate-biography","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
