Marx as a Migrant – A digital narrative

Karl Marx lived a long life as a migrant. Fleeing from the Prussian state, censorship and possible arrest, important stops on his journey were Paris, Brussels and London. These cities shaped his political activities, his engagement with political fellow-travellers, as well as his intellectual development and thus his entire work.

At the click of a mouse, you can follow Marx as a migrant from city to city. You can not only immerse yourself in his time, but also discover that even today, traces of his life and work continue to be seen in Paris, Brussels and London.

Each station takes about 45 minutes.

Studies for a “Critique of Politics and National Economy”

In rue de l’Alliance Marx continues his studies – reads and excerpts mountains of contemporary economic literature. This summer, a two-volume Critique of Politics and National Economy was due to be published. Engels has been pressing for the book for months. Marx received an advance of 1500 Francs from his publisher in early July.
