Raddatz; PUBLISHER: Little Brown & Co, boston ; a 1979 printing; 335 pages. Dj price $16.95 A political biography on Karl Marx Following is taken from the jacket blurb: ''Fritz J Raddatz interprets Marx's enigmatic and multifaceted character with imagination and insight. At the same time, he charts the intellectual development of Marx, from his first essays written at the age of twenty-four when still a struggling newspaper editor in Cologne to the apogee of his life's work, Das Kapital. Raddatz explores the stunning contradictions and discord of Marx's life in revealing detail: as a young man Marx's university days were wasted in drinking, brawling, and dueling; as an impoverished he demanded money from his friends and promised nonexistent books to editors. Marx's household, rather than a model of socialist living, remained staunchly bourgeois. His social and political life, Raddatz observes, was 'strewn with the debris of broken and abandoned relationships with co-revolutionaries, co-, co-communists . . .' Marx's domineering arrogance and dictatorial manner constantly threatened the international socialist movement he had envisioned. Raddatz' approach neither lionizes nor detracts from Marx's character. Through exhaustive research he illuminates the man who was at once brilliant historian and philosopher, and social and political pariah.''
