About this listen

 In this seminal work, Engels offers a powerful and insightful examination of the plight of Englands working class during the tumultuous industrial revolution. Based on his firsthand observations in Manchester from 1842 to 1844, along with various contemporary reports, Engels vividly illustrates the heavy toll that industrialization exacted on workers lives. This classic account remains a crucial piece for understanding the socio-economic landscape of the time. (Summary by Cathy Barratt)
