A biography of the philosopher and political revolutionary describes his childhood and family life along with his public life as an agitator and dissident and compares him to his contemporaries.
"Seit vier Jahrzehnten ist dies die erste grosse Marx-Biographie - geschrieben von einem exzellenten Kenner auf der Grundlage intensiver Forschungen. Jonathan Sperber zeigt uns Karl Marx genauer als je zuvor im Kontext seines Jahrhunderts und interpretiert ihn nicht, wie die meisten seiner Vorgänger, als eine Art posthumen Zeitgenossen. Dieses Buch macht uns vielmehr bewusst, wie stark Marx sich im Koordinatensystem der eigenen Epoche bewegte - zwischen den Ereignissen der Französischen Revolution und einer kapitalistischen Zukunft. Kein anderer Denker ist so gründlich in eine permanente Deutungshaftung für die Gegenwart genommen worden wie Karl Marx. Doch über der immensen und mit den aktuellen Krisen des Finanzkapitalismus wieder anschwellenden Wirkungsgeschichte sind die Ursprünge seiner Theorie weitgehend aus dem Blick geraten. Jonathan Sperber schildert den historischen Marx - er rekonstruiert die Entstehung der Marxschen Theorie im Kontext der damaligen Ideen und Kontroversen, zeichnet seine politischen Aktivitäten vom Redakteur der Rheinischen Zeitung bis zum Gründervater der sozialistischen Bewegungen nach und beschreibt auch sehr eindrucksvoll den Menschen Karl Marx. Die Biographie folgt den Spuren eines genialen Mannes, der ein Leben lang nach einer neuen und radikaleren Version der Französischen Revolution suchte und schliesslich - neben Darwin - zum meistzitierten Denker des 19. Jahrhunderts werden sollte. Jonathan Sperber ist Professor für Geschichte an der Universität von Missouri. Seine Bücher über das 19. Jahrhundert haben mehrere Preise erhalten, darunter 'Rhineland Radicals' über die Revolution von 1848 im Rheinland den 'Preis des DAAD' für das beste Buch zur deutschen Geschichte."
