    It outlines in a very sophisticated way the human side of these two great personalities, masterfully balancing between history and fiction.

    Clearly misleading title, you would expect these two personalities to engage in discussions about important issues, but that never happens in this book unfortunately. Maybe they had a brief encounter on some page

Description & Specifications

England, 1881. Two of the most significant thinkers of the 19th century live just a few kilometers apart. Charles Darwin lives in the countryside of Kent, Karl Marx in the heart of London. With their works, they have forever changed the world, each in their own way, laying new foundations for science, philosophy, and political thought.

Yet, both men suffer from insomnia and bouts of melancholy. Isolated from social life and the scientific community, Darwin spends his days studying earthworms. Marx desperately tries to write the second volume of Capital, while eagerly awaiting the uprising of the proletariat.

Until one evening, they will meet by chance at a dinner... Gerger sketches her heroes with humor as well as deep empathy, managing to portray the two great thinkers whose legacy is more relevant than ever.
