reviewed The art of being free on May 06, 2014 The art of being free
Although a legendary figure in his native Mexico, Rius, the pen name for the writer, political cartoonist and communist intellectual Eduardo del RÃo GarcÃa, is not well known in the United States (or probably Europe, either).
Despite the title, at least a little political savvy is necessary to fully understand Marx for Beginners. However, Rius provides a beautifully enjoyable (and quite funny) journey detailing the beginnings of the many threads of political theory that eventually influenced Karl Marx and/or his sidekick Frederich Engels. But the best part of the slender book has to be Rius' cartoons and vintage illustrations. So highly recommended!
Marx for Beginners is the first of Rius' book that I've read, but it won't be the last. I've bought Diccionario de la estupidez humana (The Dictionary of Human Stupidity), Hitler Para Masoquistas (no translation needed) and Los Agachados (The Submissive), all of them in Spanish. So I'll be entertained and improve my Spanish! A win-win!
