 * "The Great Towns"**

Friedrich Engels (28 November 1820 – 5 August 1895) was a German social scientist and philosopher. He is remembered as the father of the communist theory and produced the Communist Manifesto with Karl Marx in 1848. At the age of twenty-two Engels was sent to Manchester, England where he became exposed to the horrifying living conditions of the proletariat during the Industrial Revolution. It was from his trip to Manchester that caused him to write “The Great Towns.”
 * Engels, Friedrich (1820 - 1895)**

Engels observations of the working class in England demonstrated how the bourgeoisie alienated the proletariat. The working men of this time were degraded, living in filth and dying of starvation. This was a result of industrialization.
