The Condition Of The Workingclass In England In 1844 (1892)

By Friedrich Engels

Book Overview

The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844 is a non-fiction book by Friedrich Engels, first published in 1892. The book is a detailed and critical analysis of the living and working conditions of the working class in England during the Industrial Revolution. Engels, who was a German philosopher and political theorist, spent several years in Manchester, England, observing and studying the conditions of the working class. The book is based on his observations and research, and provides a vivid and harrowing account of the poverty, disease, and exploitation that characterized the lives of working-class people in England in the mid-19th century. Engels describes the appalling conditions in the factories, the slums, and the mines, and exposes the greed and callousness of the wealthy industrialists who profited from the exploitation of the poor. The book is a powerful indictment of the capitalist system and a call to action for social reform. It is considered a classic work of social and economic history, and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
