Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Karl Marx Biographical Memoirs
Better is the enemy of Good is an old com monplace, but like most commonplaces, it never theless contains a truth, behind which I retire for shelter in presenting the following little book. A hundred times I have been asked to write about Marx and my personal relations to him, but I have always declined to do so. And declined from - how shall I call it? - a certain holy awe - or how shall I express myself more correctly 'i - from reverence of Marx. N oblesse oblige. And a Marx imposes weighty obliga tions. Could I do him justice? Had I the abil ity? Had I the time? Under the continually growing pressure of work I was condemned to haste, to superficial working. And a eulogistic daubery, with Marx for its object, that would be an insulting lack of respect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
