The Condition of the Working-Class in England, From Personal Observation and Authentic Sources

Descripción

Reprint, third printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 20.5 × 13cm, 307pp. Written when Engels was only twenty-four, and inspired in particular by his time living amongst the poor in Manchester, this forceful polemic explores the staggering human cost of the Industrial Revolution in Victorian England. Engels paints an unforgettable picture of daily life in the new industrial towns, and for miners and agricultural workers - depicting overcrowded housing, abject poverty, child labour, sexual exploitation, dirt and drunkenness - in a savage indictment of the greed of the bourgeoisie. Condition: A good readable copy but with some wear. The book itself remains in strong readable condition but with some light mottling to the boards and a little blotchy foxing to the prelims. The dustwrapper is tanned to the spine and edges, and with quite heavy wear along the top edge.
