And he succeeds in the primary task of all biography, recreating a man who leaps off the page. We travel with Marx from his hometown, Trier, via student carousing in Bonn and Berlin, to his debut in political journalism in Cologne and on to exile and revolutionary activity in Paris, Brussels and London. We see his thought develop, but glimpse also the begging letters to his mother, requesting an advance on his inheritance, along with the enduring anxiety over whether he can provide for the wife he has loved since he was a teenager. We hear of the sleepless nights that follow the start of the American Civil War: Marx is troubled not by the fate of the Union, but by the loss of freelance income from The New York Tribune, which, consumed by matters closer to home, no longer requires his services as a European correspondent. We see the trips to the pawnbrokers, the pressure to maintain bourgeois living standards, “the show of respectability,” as Marx put it to his closest friend and co-conspirator, Friedrich Engels.

 斯珀伯圓滿達成了所有傳記的首要任務，塑造了一個躍然紙上的人物。我們跟馬克思一起從他的家鄉特里爾出發，走過他在波恩和柏林狂歡作樂的學生時代， 之後他在科隆首次登上政治新聞界的舞台，在巴黎、布魯塞爾和倫敦流亡並參加革命活動。我們看到他的思想在發展，但也可以瞥見他向母親請求提前繼承財物的乞 求信，以及他擔心是否供養得起他從十幾歲起就愛上的妻子的長期焦慮。我們聽到他在美國南北戰爭開始之後度過的不眠之夜：他擔憂的不是美國的命運，而是作為 《紐約論壇報》(The New York Tribune)自由撰稿人的收入；這家報紙把所有精力放在離家更近的事件上後，就不再需要馬克思作為歐洲記者的稿件了。我們看到馬克思出入典當行，承受 着維持中產階級生活標準的壓力，正如他對他最親密的朋友和同謀者弗里德里希·恩格斯(Friedrich Engels)所說的那樣，這種生活標準是“體面尊嚴的展示”。
