About the author
Born in Barmen, Prussia, on November 28, 1820, Friedrich Engels was the son of a prosperous manufacturer. His work in business took him to Manchester, where he witnessed the harsh conditions of industrial workers—an experience that informed his influential study The Condition of the Working Class in England.
Engels became Karl Marx’s closest intellectual partner, and together they wrote The Communist Manifesto, first published in 1848. He also wrote works including Socialism: Utopian and Scientific and The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, while preparing later volumes of Marx’s Capital for publication. Engels died in London on August 5, 1895.
