| − | Few political and intellectual partnerships can rival that of [[Karl Marx]] and Friedrich Engels. They not only famously coauthored the "[[Communist Manifesto]]" in 1848, both taking part in the social revolutions of that year, but also two earlier works – "The Holy Family" in 1845 and "The German Ideology" in 1846.

| − | In the late 1870s, when the two scientific socialists were finally able to live in close proximity and to confer with each other every day, they would often pace up and down in [[Karl Marx|Marx]]’s study, each on their own side of the room, boring grooves in the floor as they turned on their heels, while discussing their various ideas, plans, and projects.

| − | They frequently read to each other passages from their works in progress. Engels read the entire manuscript of his "Anti-Dühring" (to which [[Karl Marx|Marx]] contributed a chapter) to [[Karl Marx|Marx]] before its publication. [[Karl Marx|Marx]] wrote an introduction to Engels’s "Socialism: Utopian and Scientific". After [[Karl Marx|Marx]]’s death in 1883, Engels prepared volumes two and three of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Kapital "Capital"] for publication from the drafts his friend had left behind. If Engels, as he was the first to admit, stood in [[Karl Marx|Marx]]’s shadow, he was nevertheless an intellectual and political giant in his own right.<ref>''[https://tribunemag.co.uk/2019/11/happy-birthday-friedrich-engels "Friedrich Engels at 200"]''</ref>
