Více o knize

Engels' examination of the Industrial Revolution reveals the severe impact on workers' health and living conditions in urban centers like Manchester and Liverpool. He highlights alarmingly high mortality rates, with industrial workers facing significantly greater risks of diseases compared to their rural peers. Engels argues that wages were lower than those of pre-industrial times, forcing workers into unhealthy environments. This classic work not only documents the struggles of the working class but also reflects Engels' evolution into a radical thinker, influencing ongoing discussions on labor rights and social inequality.
