I had no idea...

Friedrich Engels
(November 28, 1820 – August 5, 1895)

Engels was a German social scientist and philosopher, who developed communist theory alongside his better-known collaborator, Karl Marx, co-authoring The Communist Manifesto (1848). Engels also edited the second and third volumes of Das Kapital after Marx's death.

Yesterday, while reading Finding Water by Julia Cameron, I was struck by this quote and wanted to know more about its author. All this time I thought that Karl Marx was a solo act, in his writings at least if not in his ideals. Isn't it interesting how history is written. Or not, as the case may be. Until stumbling upon his words, I'd never even heard of Friedrich Engels... who knew!
