Reception
The political scientist David McLellan writes that Karl Marx: The Story of His Life is the "classical biography of Marx", adding that it is now "slightly hagiographical" and out of date. In 1953, the philosopher Louis Althusser wrote that it is the "most comprehensive and interesting historical study of Marx".
