Summary: "This book fulfills a long-felt need for a new life of the founder of communism. Dr. Lewis succeeds in combining the fascinating and inspiring story of Marx's life with a clear account of the development of his teachings. Himself a leading Marxist philosopher, the author traces the evolution of Marx's thought from the early intellectual background to its maturity. The reader will find here the essential contribution of each of his major works, lucidly summarized and explained. Since Marx the thinker is inseperable from Marx the doer, his philosophic, political and economic theories developed in the course of his close association with the working-class movement. And it is an outstanding merit of the book that Dr. Lewis has been able to present, so concisely and yet so fully, the whole Marx. The three chapters on Marxist economics bring out the essence of his economic theories with unusual freshness. Of very great interest also are the seperate chapters devoted to Marx's association with the American, British, German, and Russian labor movements. In the latter section Dr. Lewis, quotes chapters and verse to disprove the contention that Marx believed the socialist revolution could begin only in the most advanced industrial countries. The reader will find here an engrossing picture of Marx's personality and a brilliant exposition of his theories on philosophy, history, economics, socialism, and communism." -- from the book jacket
