ENGELS: "After their meeting in 1844, Engels and Karl Marx became lifelong colleagues. While co-writing an article with Engels called "The Holy Family," Marx was expelled from France at Prussian insistence. Engels followed him to Belgium. They founded the Communist League in London in 1846 and co-wrote The Communist Manifesto. A month after it was published in 1848, Marx was expelled from Belgium. Engels became a primary financial supporter of the Marx family, returning to work in Germany with his father while Marx lived in England. "

The LaFARGUES: Paul Lafargue (French: January 1842 – November 1911) was a French revolutionary Marxist socialist journalist, literary critic, political writer and activist; he was Karl Marx's son-in-law having married his second daughter, Laura. His best known work is The Right To Be Lazy. Born in Cuba to French and Creole parents, Lafargue spent most of his life in France, with periods in England and Spain. At the age of 69, he and 66-year-old Laura died together by a suicide pact.

The third and final volume of Engels-Lafargue correspondence, including letters found after the publication of the first two volumes, an afterword by Emile Bottigelli, translated, as with the letters, from the French by Yvonne Knapp, and edited with a new section on the working class movement in Britain by Andrew Rothstein.
