Published in 1884, this is Engels’s classic treatise that traces human development from the time of primitive communities to a class society aimed at the protection of private property. Based in part on Marx’s notes to Lewis H. Morgan’s book Ancient Society, Engels’ work was deemed by Lenin as “one of the fundamental works of modern socialism.”

Friedrich Engels (1820–1895) was a German Socialist and disciple of Karl Marx. After Engels wrote The Condition of the Working Class in Englandin 1844, he came into contact with Karl Marx, and together they collaborated on the dissemination of Communist thought, and on the writing of The Communist Manifesto (1848). He completed volumes 2 and 3 of Das Kapital after Marx’s death in 1883.
