Terrell Carver's Engels, part of the prestigious Oxford Past Masters series, presents a concise yet penetrating portrait of this often-underestimated thinker, tracing his intellectual development from his early critiques of industrial capitalism in Manchester to his pivotal role in shaping Marxist theory and completing Marx's unfinished Das Kapital after his collaborator's death.\n\nCarver, one of the foremost scholars of Marxist thought, argues with precision and scholarly authority that Engels was far more than Marx's loyal lieutenant — he was an original thinker whose contributions to materialist philosophy, military theory, and the study of the family profoundly shaped the course of the 20th century. Written with admirable clarity and accessibility, this volume illuminates the tensions between Engels' bourgeois lifestyle and his radical convictions, raising a question that resonates to this day: can a man of privilege truly dismantle the system that sustains him?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160991604955,"sku":"2026200013872-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/109bf6f2-1d01-4ccd-9a50-5fbfc346f758.png?v=1787188585","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013872-secondhand-engels","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
