The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844 with a Preface written in 1892 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Friedrich Engels's The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844 is a foundational work of social investigation and revolutionary critique, combining eyewitness reportage, statistical evidence, parliamentary inquiries, and moral indignation. Written in a lucid, polemical style, it anatomizes the industrial cities of Britain—especially Manchester—as spaces of overcrowding, disease, exploitation, and class antagonism. The 1892 preface adds historical perspective, revisiting the book's claims after decades of capitalist development and labor organization. Engels wrote from unusually intimate knowledge of his subject. Sent to Manchester to work in his family's textile business, he observed industrial capitalism from within while also moving among workers, radicals, and Irish immigrant communities. His encounter with Chartism, urban poverty, and factory discipline sharpened the materialist analysis he would later develop with Karl Marx. The book thus stands at the threshold of Marxist social theory, joining empirical observation to a theory of class struggle. This volume is essential for readers interested in industrialization, Victorian society, labor history, urban studies, or socialist thought. It remains compelling not merely as a historical document, but as a powerful inquiry into how economic systems shape human lives.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Friedrich Engels' seminal work, 'The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844,' presents a meticulous examination of the dire socioeconomic realities facing the laboring population during the Industrial Revolution. Written in a vivid and impassioned style, the text blends empirical observations with moral outrage, capturing the stark contrasts between wealth and poverty. Engels employs both personal anecdotes and sociological analysis, thereby contextualizing the plight of the working class within the broader frameworks of capitalism and industrialization. The 1892 preface serves as a reflective commentary that underscores the enduring relevance of his findings amidst the ongoing struggles of the proletariat. Engels, a close collaborator of Karl Marx, was deeply influenced by his experiences in industrial England, where he witnessed firsthand the exploitative conditions of workers. His upbringing in a bourgeois family, juxtaposed with his immersion in the labor movement, undoubtedly shaped his advocacy for socialism. Engels' insights were crucial in laying the groundwork for the later development of Marxist theory, as he sought to illuminate the systemic injustices suffered by the working class. This essential text is highly recommended for both scholars and general readers interested in the interplay of class, industrialization, and capitalism. It provides not only an invaluable historical account but also fosters a critical understanding of contemporary labor issues, making it a timeless contribution to social thought. 172 pp. Englisch.
