Features: This volume is the first part of the correspondence, including letters from Marx and Engels from 1837 to the end of January 1848. The letters written before their meeting in Paris in August 1844 and the beginning of their collaboration are divided into Part 1 and Part 2 of this volume; the letters from August 1844 to January 1848 are included in Part 3; the appendix contains letters from Marx's family members to him during this period. These letters are extremely rich in content and cover a wide range of fields, including politics, economics, philosophy, history, military science, science and technology, literature and art. Many of the incisive insights and profound thoughts in these letters supplement, enrich, and develop the basic theories and principles of Marxism. Some letters explore new perspectives on major theoretical issues and propose brilliant ideas that deserve further elaboration, holding independent theoretical value.
