grandfathers were Jewish, Marx's father changed his eight children to

Protestants in 1824. The young Marx later anounced himself an Atheist. As a

student, Marx wanted to became a poet and an actor. In the University of

Berlin, he studied Hegelian philosophy and became very interested in

economic. While later living in Paris, he became friend with Friedrich Engels,

who supported him for the rest of his life. Together they published the

Communist Manifesto in 1848. Following his expulsion from Brussel and

Cologne, Paris, Marx eventually settled in London were he lived there as no

nationality until his death.

KARL MARX’S TRUE LOVE

Jenny von Westphalen and Karl Heinrich Marx regularly met each other as children. She was four years older than Karl. They

became close friends as teenagers. Both of them went well at school. According to Marx, she was the most beautiful girl in the

town of Trier. Her father, Baron Ludwig von Westphalen, a friend of Marx's father, also befriended the teenage Marx, and would often go on walks with him, where they would discuss philosophy and English literature.[4] Jenny and Karl became engaged in 1836. They eventually married on June 19, 1843 in the Kreuznacher Pauluskirche (the Kreuznach church of Saint Paul),

Bad Kreuznach.Following their marriage, Karl and Jenny Marx moved to Rue

Vaneau in Paris and befriended the German poet Heinrich Heine, who lived at Rue Matignon.

Jenny died of cancer on December 2, 1881, at the age of sixty-seven. For Marx it was a blow from which he never recovered.

In preparation for Das Kapital, he read every available work in economic and financial theory and practice.

Marx's excessive smoking, wine drinking, and love of heavily spiced foods may have been contributing causes to his illnesses. In the final dozeThe Marxes had seven children, four of whom died in infancy or childhood. He deeply loved his daughters, who, in turn, adored him. Of the three surviving daughters—Jenny, Laura, and Eleanor—two married Frenchmen. Both of Marx's sons-in-law became prominent French socialists and members of Parliament. Eleanor was active as a British labor organizer.

Marx spent most of his working time in the British Museum, doing research both for his newspaper articles n years of his life, he could no longer do any continuous intellectual work. He died in his armchair in London on March 14, 1883, about two months before his sixty-fifth birthday. He lies buried in London's Highgate Cemetery, where his grave is marked by a bust (sculpture of a person's head and shoulders) of him.

Karl marx job

Karl Marx never held a regular job. Marx started out to be a college professor, but his ideas were rejected. He also tried publishing newspapers, but every one soon folded, and the same went with committees he tried to organize.

Most of his life was devoted to writing, and studying as subjects interested him, while he lived on contributions from Engels, or others who supported Marx's ideas.
