Engels and his father were deeply opposed, yet Friedrich spent his life working in the Engels and Ermen cotton mills, and although his parents were outraged by his views they never ceased their financial support.Įngels displayed an early interest in literature, writing stories and poems which frequently included some reference to commerce. He attended a gymnasium but not university (the reasons for this are debated), and worked for his father’s firms in Barmen from 1837-38, and then for three years worked in an office in Bremen.

Thus Engels was never unfamiliar with industrial life. This was unusual in Germany-Barmen was one of the first areas in Germany to undergo thorough industrialization. Engels was born in 1820 in Barmen, in the Rhineland, the eldest son of a prosperous mill owner whose father and grandfather had also owned textile mills. ![]() ![]() The plot of the comic takes place before the events of The Last of Us and The Last of Us: Left Behind.
