Abstract

Many books and articles were written about the thought of Karl Marx, but much fewer were written about Marx´s life per se. This article aims at providing an overview of the biographies of Marx written so far, covering from the first ones in the nineteenth-century to the ones in the twenty-first century. We will analyze the evolution of these biographies both in terms of formal-methodological quality and in terms of new factual evidence provided by them about Marx´s life.
