The Condition of the Working Class (1844) is one of the best-known work of Friedrich Engels.
Originally written in German as Die Lage der arbeitenden Klasse in England, it is a study of the working class in Victorian England. It was also Engels' first book, written during his stay in Manchester from 1842 to 1844. Manchester was then at the very heart of the Industrial Revolution, and Engels compiled his study from his own observations and detailed contemporary reports.
It is considered by many to be a classic account of the condition of the industrial working class.
