Hello comrades!

For my seminar class I decided to do my research paper on Karl Marx, chronicling his migration journey around Europe until 1849 when he permanently settled in England. The overarching topic of this class is about migration during the age of revolutions and one of the last sources we have to read (the one I am presenting on) is about Marx in Paris, this is why I chose to write about him for my project.

I have yet to concoct a thesis, which is fine apparently as it is still early and I haven’t read anything. Because of that my professor told me to find a biography on Marx so I can know what he was doing bouncing around all the time, why he was doing so, what he was writing and who he was corresponding with. Like with any Marxist topic, I worry that certain sources I delve into will be really anti-communist and I would rather not waste my time on them if I can help it. I know biases are unavoidable but the less aggressive it is the better, I suppose.

If any of you could push me in the right direction on which biography, or biographies, to read I would really appreciate it.
