Engels nationality biography

Today, the years of the birth of Friedrich Engels - one of the founders of "scientific communism", entrepreneur and friend of Karl Marx, has been performed. And what was he in his personal life? Of course, the majority had to be canceled because of the pandemic of coronavirus. Communist, revolutionary, entrepreneur Friedrich Engels was born in the family of a large textile manufacturer and was the eldest of nine children, that is, he had to inherit the company.

A year before the end of the gymnasium, he left his studies at the request of his father, who wanted Frederick to receive the profession of a merchant. At the summer, the young man began his journalistic activity by writing, under the pseudonym, “Letters from Wuoppertal”, in which we were talking about the poverty of workers and hypocrisy of the inhabitants of his hometown. In the year, Friedrich Engels finished his studies, after which he voluntarily went to military service.

He served in Berlin. The service was minor. In any case, Engels could attend lectures on philosophy, philology and financial affairs. In the year, he met Karl Marx. A year later, after military service, Friedrich Engels went to Manchester to get acquainted with the work of one of his father's cotton factories. They were connected not only by love relationships. Thanks to Mary, Engels learned a lot about the life of workers in the UK.

This information formed the basis of its first major work "The position of the working class in England." Later he wrote, along with Marx, "Communist Manifesto".

After the defeat of the revolution in Germany, he fled to Switzerland, then to England. After some time, he became a co-owner of a father’s company in Manchester. Entrepreneurial income not only provided him with a comfortable life, but also made it possible to provide financial support to Karl Marx. Engels survived his friend for 12 years. He died of laryngeal cancer in London in the year.

This question, as Marina Morina Mohr notes in her article in the collection of materials about Friedrich Engels, which was released on the occasion of the Vuppertal exhibition, is also not permissible for understanding his personality. It is known that Engels loved to boast of his love affairs with his love affairs. Surely, he had many mistresses, friends, fleeting connections.

But historians know two women who have been in a romantic connection with Engels for many years. Mary and Lydia, originally from Ireland, were ordinary workers. The older sister, Mary, contemporaries described as a kind and witty, independent and politically thinking woman. Engels could not marry her: he would be deprived of an inheritance. But in his letters to friends, he represented Mary as Mrs.

Engels. Not everyone surrounded by Friedrich Engels welcomed this connection. One of Engels’s associates, Stefan Born STEPHAN Born doubted that the cohabitation of Frederick and Mary is a new communist model of relations between a man and a woman, indicating that the connections of the sons of manufacturers with young workers are a common phenomenon and form of operation.

In fact, Mary all her life depended on Friedrich Engels financially, having, at the same time, no rights to his condition. During his life in Manchester, Friedrich Engels kept several apartments for the year, in one he received family members and partners, and in the other, where he very often visited, Mary and her sister lived. In the year, Mary died at the age of 41.

Friedrich Engels did not remain alone for long. Engels had no children with Lizzy, like Mary. In the year, Friedrich Engels was officially combined with a marriage with Lizzy, lying at death, a few hours before her death. See also:.
