News from Marx and Engels

News from my favourite philosophers. Bettina sent them on to me today (she had got them by her son Lion), and I'm proud to share them with you. There had been a reading of their private correspondence on March 23rd (for the first time ever, and there won't be a follow-up), quite shocking to a few old school admirers, but exactly what everybody else expected from those two great friends. They're only human, aren't they? And so much so.
Harry Rowohlt and Gregor Gysi were the appropriate readers, Random House will publish the event in May. Well worth the 15 Euros you'd have to pay for the cd "Marx & Engels intim". I'm a tick sorry I was in Stuttgart when they read in Berlin.
Enjoy the video here.
By the way, there's a huge revival of reading Marx lately. His books are almost sold out in Germany. No wonder, he's giving the right answers to questions about global crisis of capitalism.
