ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The great erotic and historical novel, Lumen Award, by a critically acclaimed female writer, winner of several literary awards and translated into other languages.

"You can't think or write better than this." -Marta Sanz, Babelia

Karl Marx left behind an impressive theoretical legacy and an extensive line of descendants. He also left behind an additional child, a son he had with the housemaid, whom he never wanted to acknowledge and whom he gave to his colleague, Engels. Now, through a bastard daughter of Marx, the result of an affair with a Russian aristocrat, Clara Obligado portrays an entire love and sexual education --a variant that finds its precise and suggestive story-- and forms the detailed fresco of a splendid era. What if the Russian aristocracy in exile, instead of making a political revolution, had started a sexual revolution? What if History, instead of being narrated by men, had been narrated by women?

Marx's Daughter is a literary prodigy full of imagination, rigorous documentation (models of dildos included), eroticism, and irony; a sharp and sumptuous chronicle of the destinies of those women who surrounded the revolutionaries, utopians, and reformers of the turn of the century. This dazzling novel, which was awarded the Premio Femenino Lumen, is read today with renewed admiration and relevance.
