Karl Marx: The Story of His Life (German: Karl Marx. Geschichte seines Lebens) is a 1918[1] book about the philosopher Karl Marx by the German historian Franz Mehring. Considered the classical biography of Marx,[2] the work has been translated into many languages, including Russian (1920), Swedish (1921–1922), Danish (1922), Hungarian (1925), Japanese (1930), Spanish (1932), English (1935), and Hebrew (1940–1941).[3]
Reception
The political scientist David McLellan writes that Karl Marx: The Story of His Life is the "classical biography of Marx", adding that it is now "slightly hagiographical" and out of date.[2] In 1953, the philosopher Louis Althusser wrote that it is the "most comprehensive and interesting historical study of Marx".[4]
