FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A cartoon book about Marx? Are you sure its Karl, not Groucho? How can you summarize the work of Karl Marx in cartoons? It took Rius to do it. Hes put it all in: the origins of Marxist philosophy, history, economics; of capital, labor, the class struggle, socialism. And theres a biography of "Charlie" Marx besides.Like the companion volumes in the series, Marx for Beginners is accurate, understandable, and very, very funny.

He was chosen Best Editorial Cartoonist in Mexico in 1959, and in 1968 he received the Grand Prize of the International Salon of Caricature in Montreal. He currently lives and works in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Review "A superb little book in a most improbable format....I recommend it unreservedly for anyone who wants the rudiments of Marx from an engaging mentor....Rius on Marx is magnificent. He shows that pictures can amplify ideas, and that simplicity need not forgo subtlety."New York Times Book Review Review Quote "A superb little book in a most improbable format....I recommend it unreservedly for anyone who wants the rudiments of Marx from an engaging mentor....Rius on Marx is magnificent.
